Benjamin Gleaves

Benjamin Gleaves is a Kansas licensed counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience. He focuses on practical, hands-on work to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Benjamin aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and learn clearer ways to respond.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. That approach helps when panic, social anxiety, or mood problems get in the way of daily life. Sessions emphasize specific skills people can use between meetings to see steady progress.

Benjamin also pays attention to life changes and identity questions. He helps people who are facing divorce or separation, workplace strain, or a midlife turning point think through next steps. He supports those dealing with loneliness, attachment wounds, or struggles around control and impulsivity.

Men’s issues and questions about purpose are frequent topics he brings practical focus to. He works with forgiveness, communication problems, and feelings of abandonment in straightforward ways. The aim is clearer thinking and more effective coping strategies.

People who meet with him can expect a respectful conversation about goals and a plan for change. Benjamin uses tools from CBT while shaping sessions around what each person needs. To begin, clients follow the platform process to match and schedule time with him.

How CBT Shapes Online Work and Practical Change

Benjamin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new responses. CBT breaks problems into small, changeable parts so people can try new behaviors and notice what helps with anxiety, anger, or panic.

In sessions he will also focus on concrete skills for stress management, such as grounding and breathing techniques, and on problem-solving for workplace or relationship strain. Each method is described in simple terms and tied to daily life tasks so clients can apply them between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will review goals, try concrete strategies, and adjust techniques based on what works. This collaborative stance helps match CBT tools to the client’s needs and preferences over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and keep momentum between meetings through shorter check-ins when helpful.
