About Benjamin

Benjamin Wayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, trauma, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Benjamin approaches each person without judgment and focuses on their unique situation rather than a diagnosis.

He emphasizes the connection between body and mind, believing what helps the body often helps the brain as well. Sessions begin with a friendly greeting and a short review of rights and risk, then move into an opening question to get the conversation started. Notes are taken during sessions and read aloud at the end so the person knows what was captured.

Benjamin offers both collaborative and non-direct styles. When someone prefers structure he helps set clear goals and a treatment plan. When someone prefers a looser approach he follows the flow of conversation to identify aims together.

Instead of traditional homework he suggests small experiments to try between sessions. These experiments are practical steps people can test in daily life to build resilience, improve relationships, and strengthen self-respect.

His style is open and inclusive, aiming to create a calm space where people can problem-solve without drama. With eight years of clinical experience as an LPC, he combines practical strategies and conversational work to help people move forward.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, sleep disruption, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current needs and reactions, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and family-origin concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns with practical exercises, often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin collaborates with each person to try approaches that match their goals and preferences, and adjusts plans based on what feels useful. That process is shared and flexible rather than fixed.

Confirm current session formats before booking to learn how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose audio-only conversations when video would be a burden, or shorter sessions for focused problem-solving during a work break. Ask about format options to learn which will best fit daily life and goals.
