About Benjamin

Benjamin Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with nine years of counseling experience. He practices in Pennsylvania and works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, and parenting challenges.

He prefers an eclectic approach and adapts methods to fit each person’s needs. Sessions typically mix practical skills with focused conversation. Benjamin emphasizes seeing how thoughts, emotions, the body, and a person’s beliefs connect and affect daily life.

Clients can expect straightforward, goal-oriented meetings that emphasize problem solving and skills practice. He draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help people manage distress, improve communication, and cope with life transitions. Work may include learning new ways to respond to anger, building coping tools for anxiety, or addressing patterns that cause relationship strain.

Benjamin also attends to caregiving stress, issues related to aging, attachment questions, and sexual expression topics such as BDSM and kink. He has experience supporting people facing career pressures, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and blended family concerns. He notes that many issues overlap and often look at how multiple stressors interact.

How sessions work

Approaches used in remote sessions

Benjamin commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning to make choices that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT breaks down problematic thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or reactive anger.

He also uses Client-Centered principles, which emphasize listening and responding to a person’s concerns so therapy reflects their goals. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit best together.

Session formats are not listed on the profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or avoid the need to be on camera if that helps someone focus. Licensed professionals adapt the structure to suit pacing, homework, and in-session skill practice so the work stays practical and applicable to day-to-day challenges.
