About Benjamin

Benjamin Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Pennsylvania. He has nine years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship and family concerns. Benjamin approaches each person as an individual and tailors sessions to fit their needs and goals.

He describes his work as eclectic, matching methods to what a person needs in the moment. Sessions often look at how thoughts, feelings, body responses, and values interact. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing emotion regulation, or clarifying what matters most to move forward.

Benjamin has supported people through grief, parenting challenges, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and issues related to intimacy, attachment, and codependency. He also works with concerns such as ADHD, anger, and blended family stress. His background includes crisis work and longer-term counseling with a range of life problems.

In session he emphasizes respect and collaboration. He listens for each person’s perspective and adapts the approach rather than using a single formula. Many clients work on practical steps between sessions to test new ways of relating or managing stress.

Benjamin aims to help people balance their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs. He invites prospective clients to consider what they hope to change and to take small, concrete steps toward those goals in conversation together.

Online approaches that match your needs

Benjamin commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and committing to actions that matter, which helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathic understanding so people feel heard and can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. CBT targets unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, teaching practical skills to manage symptoms like worry or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Benjamin will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That means checking in together about what feels helpful and adjusting the plan as needed rather than insisting on one path from the start.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life gets hectic. Many people find it simple to try new coping strategies between meetings and then review progress during sessions with a licensed professional.
