About Benjamin
Benjamin Gleaves is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Kansas with 11 years of experience. He focuses on practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve self-esteem. He aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for people who feel stuck.
Benjamin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to feel better. He combines that with a respectful, faith-informed outlook when clients want that perspective.
Background and approach
Sessions look at what is happening now and what small steps can change daily life. His work often centers on common life pressures such as workplace strain, relationship difficulties, and big transitions like separation or midlife shifts. He also helps people who face panic attacks, social anxiety, or persistent low mood.
Conversations are concrete and focused on practical coping skills. Benjamin pays attention to patterns tied to attachment, abandonment concerns, and communication problems. He helps people weigh options, set boundaries, and rebuild confidence after hard experiences.
The aim is clearer thinking and more effective action between sessions. People who want a direct, skills-based approach often find his style a good fit. He offers several remote session formats to match different schedules.
To start, a short questionnaire and scheduling step connect someone with his practice.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought that increase anxiety and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms. In practice this looks like noticing a worry, trying a different response, and reviewing what changed. It is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, and low mood.Benjamin also blends a faith-informed perspective when clients prefer that lens, using it to explore values and meaning alongside practical skills. He approaches treatment as a collaboration - the therapist and client decide together which tools to try based on goals and daily life demands.
Online therapy offers several formats to match how people live. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of worksheets. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and quick skill practice easier between longer sessions. These options aim to make consistent care fit into busy schedules and different routines.
