About Benjamin
Benjamin Wayburn is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. He names mind-body connections as central to his work and focuses on restoring balance between daily life and emotional health. Benjamin practices with openness and without judgment, and he encourages people who are ready to make changes and build resiliency.
Sessions begin casually and move into practical conversation.
Background and approach
He explains rights and risk questions, then asks a starter question to begin the work. He takes notes during sessions and often reviews them aloud at the end so people can track progress and next steps. Benjamin uses short experiments rather than traditional homework.
These are simple activities to try between sessions that test ideas in real life. He can be direct and collaborative when outlining goals and a plan, or more conversational and exploratory depending on what feels right for the person. His training includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Existential Therapy.
He draws on those methods to tailor the work to the person's needs and preferences. Benjamin has practiced clinically for eight years and holds LPC licensure in multiple states. Online and remote formats are part of his practice, with sessions available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
How Benjamin's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small steps that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, offering ways to understand connection and improve communication in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's experience by listening deeply and following the person's pace, which can be useful for building trust and self-understanding.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Benjamin discusses options and tailors methods to the person's goals and preferences. He may combine elements from different approaches to fit what someone needs most in the moment.
Online therapy with Benjamin uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Remote formats let people fit work into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and try experiments between conversations. The variety of session types supports different communication styles and scheduling needs, making it easier to keep momentum in the work.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
