Benjamin Jensen

Benjamin Jensen is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Pennsylvania. He holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and brings nine years of counseling experience to his work. Benjamin approaches each person as an individual and aims to tailor sessions to their needs. He describes counseling as a collaborative process that looks at practical concerns and daily challenges.

Benjamin uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions. That flexibility helps him support people with anxiety, stress, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and family or relationship struggles.

In sessions he pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and spiritual concerns interact. He encourages straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what people want to change. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clearer communication, and manageable next steps.

Benjamin also works with concerns like parenting, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He lists additional focus areas that include caregiver stress, blended family challenges, attachment issues, and divorce and separation.

People who choose him can expect a respectful, practical approach. Benjamin aims to adapt his methods to a person's pace and preferences. He invites prospective clients to start with a short questionnaire to see if his style fits their needs.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills to change behavior and mood, which can help with depression, anger, and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on improving emotional awareness and connections, and can support people facing relationship or attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is useful, so clients help guide which approaches are emphasized.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping work or caregiving disruptions to a minimum. Online options can make it easier to have a shorter check-in or to meet when travel would be difficult. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are scheduled and delivered.
