Benjamin Wayburn, LPC

Benjamin Wayburn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and grief. He also supports people dealing with self-esteem, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career stress, and depression. He writes plainly and focuses on practical change rather than labels. His approach centers on the connection between body and mind. He emphasizes what helps the body because it also helps the brain. Benjamin is openly inclusive and nonjudgmental, and he pays attention to each person's uniqueness instead of focusing only on diagnoses. Sessions are collaborative. He often works with people who are ready to change and who want to build resilience and clearer problem-solving in relationships. He describes using short experiments between sessions instead of traditional homework to test small changes in daily life. Benjamin balances direct and non-direct styles. When helpful, he will be straightforward and co-create clear goals and a plan. At other times he prefers to let goals emerge through conversation and curiosity. A typical first meeting begins simply, with a greeting and routine paperwork about rights and risk, followed by an opening question to start the conversation. He takes notes during sessions and rereads them at the end to keep the work focused and collaborative.

Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions

Benjamin often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to values-based actions that move a person toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and shifting unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people try different ways of relating when old patterns cause pain. Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, attachment work, or a client-centered stance fits best, and they adjust as therapy progresses. Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and more options for shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not detailed in the biography, confirm the available remote options before booking so you know what to expect. Many people appreciate that online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to practice experiments between conversations in real life.
