Carnesha Ben, LPC

Carnesha Ben is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Her practice also addresses attachment issues, blended family concerns, codependency, communication struggles, and difficulties like guilt, shame, and isolation.

She emphasizes practical conversations about what matters now. Sessions focus on clearer values, steadier routines, and small behavior changes that help day-to-day functioning. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy to guide those conversations.

Carnesha pays attention to how culture, identity, and workplace stress affect wellbeing. She welcomes discussion of alternative sex culture topics such as BDSM and kink when they are relevant to a person’s distress or relationships. She also supports people processing experiences of domestic violence, infidelity, and family conflict.

In sessions she prioritizes practical tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and coping with transitions. People may work on boundaries, problem solving, managing impulses, or repairing trust after betrayal. She helps clients name values and take steps toward them without promising a particular outcome.

Work in therapy is collaborative and direct. To start, clients describe what feels most urgent and pick a few concrete goals. Progress is checked in session and plans are adjusted as needed.
