About Benjamin
Benjamin Wayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He works with issues like trauma, addictions, low self-esteem, sleep trouble, parenting strain, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. His approach is open and nonjudgmental, and he focuses on each person's unique situation rather than a diagnosis.
Benjamin emphasizes practical, body-mind connections and simple steps people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
He often offers short experiments instead of formal homework to test new habits. In sessions he can be direct about setting goals or follow a more conversational pace - he adapts to how someone prefers to work. Sessions start with a friendly greeting and routine paperwork, followed by basic rights and risk questions, and then a lead-in to begin the session.
He takes notes during meetings and reviews them at the end so people leave with clear takeaways and next steps. This helps keep conversations focused and actionable. Benjamin uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centered care, and existential perspectives.
He leans on these tools to help people build resilience, improve communication, and manage impulsivity or avoidance patterns. With eight years of counseling experience, Benjamin frames therapy as a collaborative process. He aims to help people find practical ways to cope, make meaningful changes, and regain momentum when life feels stuck.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related struggles with focus and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and test new ways of responding to stress and impulsivity. It is often used for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current closeness and trust, and it helps people practice new ways to connect and set boundaries.Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, attachment work, or a mix - and they adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection for deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can be used for ongoing prompts or brief updates. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and to try different formats as needs change.
