Benjamin Fendrich, LCSW

Benjamin Fendrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with seven years of experience. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and anger. He also supports clients dealing with workplace stress, life changes, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Fendrich uses practical, conversational sessions that center on the person in front of him. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to what matters most to the client. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore readiness for change and to bolster commitment to goals.

He brings a trauma-informed perspective developed through training at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. That perspective shapes how he approaches conversations about painful events, grief, and substance use. Sessions look at current patterns and small, manageable steps a person can try between meetings.

People meet him for down-to-earth strategies for managing anger, coping with life transitions, and reducing stress reactions. He also addresses communication problems, control issues, and feelings of isolation or guilt. Work often includes skill practice, short-term behavioral experiments, and focused goal-setting.

His style is straightforward and collaborative. Prospective clients who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
