About Benjamin

Benjamin Wayburn is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting matters, sleeping problems, anger, career concerns, depression, and coping with life changes.

Benjamin approaches therapy from a mind-body perspective. He focuses on what helps the body and the brain together. He describes himself as open and nonjudgmental and pays attention to each person rather than a diagnosis.

He prefers to work with people who come voluntarily and are willing to try change. He supports those aiming to build resilience, solve relationship problems without drama, and restore self-respect. Sessions may be collaborative and goal-focused, or more conversational depending on the person’s preference.

Practical work is part of how he operates. He takes notes during sessions and reviews them at the end. Instead of assigning homework, he offers short experiments to try between conversations so people can test new ways of responding.

A first session begins with a casual greeting and routine formalities including rights and risk assessment questions. From there he uses a lead-in question to begin the discussion and shape the initial plan.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while taking action toward valued goals. It helps when anger gets in the way of the life someone wants to build. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful reactions and reduce impulsivity.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. He will collaborate with clients to choose or adapt approaches based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can be more directive or more conversational depending on what helps someone engage and experiment between meetings.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require, and support practicing experiments in everyday contexts. Licensed professionals aim to match the approach and logistics to a person’s day-to-day life so therapy feels workable alongside other obligations.
