Benjamin Wayburn

Benjamin Wayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and work or parenting strain. He emphasizes mind-body connections and pays attention to how lifestyle and behavior affect mood and focus. He works with people who want real change and clearer problem-solving skills.

Benjamin describes his approach as open and nonjudgmental. He prioritizes each person’s uniqueness over labels. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, and he balances direct goal-setting with a gentler, exploratory pace when that fits better.

He tends to offer experiments to try between sessions rather than formal homework. Those experiments are practical steps to test new behaviors and see what helps in daily life. He also takes notes during sessions and reads them aloud at the end to keep the work focused.

A first meeting begins with a friendly greeting, a review of rights and risk questions, and a lead-in prompt to start the conversation. Benjamin aims to help people build resilience, set clear goals, and restore self-respect through steady, practical work.

Benjamin brings eight years of clinical experience in Colorado. He draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and existential themes to tailor the work to each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Benjamin uses acceptance and commitment ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-based thinking to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when discomfort is present, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable steps, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and is helpful for commitment issues, codependency, and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can be more directive when someone wants clear goals, or more exploratory when they prefer to follow the flow of conversation.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try experiments between sessions and report back quickly, which fits with his emphasis on practical behavioral work.
