About Benjamin
Benjamin Wayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. He speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps that fit a person’s life. Benjamin welcomes LGBTQ clients and people dealing with addiction, ADHD, sleep problems, anger, or workplace strain.
He views mind and body as connected and pays attention to both. He listens without judgment and centers each person’s uniqueness rather than a diagnosis.
Background and approach
Sessions may include brief experiments to try between meetings instead of formal homework. Benjamin adapts his style to what the person prefers. He can be direct, helping set clear goals and a treatment plan.
He can also take a gentler, conversational route and let goals emerge naturally from the discussion. Sessions begin with a friendly check-in and standard intake questions, including a review of rights and risk. He takes notes during sessions and reads them aloud at the end so clients know what was covered and what to try next.
With eight years of experience as an LPC, he uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered approaches, and existential ideas. That variety lets him match methods to concerns like relationship problems, parenting stress, abandonment or attachment issues, and struggles with guilt or shame.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions connect and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and impulsivity. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin problems.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to lean into ACT, CBT, attachment work, or a mix that fits the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and messaging or live chat works well for brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different rhythms until something works.
