About Benjamin
Benjamin Wayburn is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience. He lists life purpose among his areas of focus and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and career questions. He describes his approach as body-minded - what helps the body helps the brain - and focuses on practical change rather than labels.
Benjamin prefers working with people who come to therapy by choice and who are willing to try new ways of responding. He uses short experiments between sessions instead of traditional homework. He may work directly to set goals and a treatment plan, or let goals emerge naturally through the conversation, depending on what feels right for the client.
Sessions are collaborative and include note-taking that he reviews aloud at the end of the visit. A first meeting begins with a casual greeting, routine paperwork about rights and risk, and a simple lead-in question to begin discussion. He aims to help clients develop resiliency and better problem-solving in their relationships.
His methods draw on practical, evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment practices, attachment-informed work, client-centered conversation, and existential themes about meaning and choice. These inform the kinds of experiments and in-session conversations he uses.
Benjamin emphasizes direct, plain conversation about goals and actions. He often invites small in-between-session experiments to test changes in real life. People looking for straightforward, pragmatic work around direction, life changes, and relationship patterns may find his style fits their needs.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and questions about meaning or life purpose. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections; it can help with intimacy, trust, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on open conversation led by the client, with the therapist providing reflective listening and support while the person finds their own answers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and style. That means experimenting with direct goal-setting, acceptance-based exercises, or attachment-focused discussions and adjusting as preferences and needs become clearer.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue steady work through job changes, moves, or caregiving demands. Licensed professionals, including therapists using ACT, attachment work, and client-centered methods, can adapt exercises and experiments so they translate to a virtual setting and into everyday routines.
