About Benjamin
Benjamin Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Pennsylvania. He has nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. He focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions and on making therapy fit the individual.
Benjamin frames counseling around the whole person - thoughts, feelings, body, and beliefs. He avoids one-size-fits-all plans and instead adapts methods to what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life changes that matter to day-to-day family life. He draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based techniques to help people shift unhelpful patterns. He also uses emotionally-focused work and client-centered listening when relationships, intimacy-related issues, or family problems come up.
These methods support clearer communication and steadier reactions under stress. Parents often seek his help for managing anger, establishing routines, handling fatherhood concerns, and coping with blended family stress. He also addresses trauma and abuse, ADHD, caregiver strain, and career or life-change transitions.
Benjamin helps people set small, doable goals and track progress over time. Sessions can be delivered by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit busy schedules or different comfort levels. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

How Benjamin’s approaches translate to online therapy
Benjamin frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to clarify values that guide everyday parenting and life choices. ACT can help when someone wants to act differently despite stress or anxiety.He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking that fuel worry, low mood, or conflict. CBT offers concrete strategies for testing thoughts and changing behaviors that interfere with routines or relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Benjamin will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process helps shape which tools and exercises are used in sessions and between meetings.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat, or text messaging - make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy parenting days or work schedules. Video sessions enable face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be used when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support quick check-ins or short coaching between longer meetings. These options give flexibility so a person can choose what fits their routine and energy level.
