About Benjamin
Benjamin Fendrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. He uses a warm, direct style to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges. Benjamin aims to meet people where they are and start from their real-life concerns.
He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to each person's goals and strengths. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors, and Motivational Interviewing to support steps toward change.
Background and approach
These approaches are used together to address mood concerns, substance issues, and everyday stressors. Benjamin has seven years of clinical experience and a background that includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders. He helps people cope with life changes, workplace stress, relationship difficulties, and parenting strain.
He also focuses on issues like guilt, impulsivity, isolation, and finding life purpose. Sessions can include practical skill-building, step-by-step planning, and short-term problem solving. Conversations often center on small, manageable changes and clearer ways to handle upsetting feelings or conflict.
Benjamin provides care in English and practices across a range of topics including LGBT concerns, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and men's issues. His approach is collaborative and goal-focused, with an emphasis on realistic steps clients can try between sessions.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's goals and strengths. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to build confidence in making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and support motivation when someone is thinking about change; it can be useful for substance concerns, lifestyle shifts, or starting new routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. From there he will suggest one or a blend of approaches and adjust as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is suited for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing coaching or quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, and daily life.
