About Benjamin
Benjamin Wayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and self-esteem. He also supports concerns like ADHD, addiction, relationship and intimacy problems, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, and career stress. Benjamin approaches each person as unique rather than defined by a diagnosis.
He focuses on practical, body-informed work that links physical habits and mental well-being. Sessions can be direct and goal-oriented or more open and conversational, depending on what the person prefers.
Background and approach
He uses short experiments between visits instead of traditional homework to test new ways of coping. Benjamin aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental atmosphere. He takes notes during sessions and reads them aloud at the end so people leave with a clear sense of what was covered.
He expects clients who come ready to engage and work toward strengthening resilience and problem-solving skills. A typical first session starts with a casual greeting and basic paperwork, then reviews rights and risk questions before moving into a lead-in question to begin the conversation.
From there Benjamin and the client decide together whether to set specific goals or let priorities emerge more naturally. With eight years of practice as an LPC, he blends several approaches to match the person in front of him. He aims for honest collaboration and practical steps people can try between meetings to feel steadier day to day.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking meaningful action aligned with personal values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through practical exercises to reduce worrying and shift behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns today and helps people understand and change those patterns for better connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person's life and priorities in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues when helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try approaches consistently between sessions.
