About Benjamin
Benjamin Wayburn is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and addiction. He also supports concerns around relationships, intimacy, parenting, career change, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. He uses a somatic perspective that links bodily awareness with emotions and thinking.
Benjamin meets people without judgment and focuses on each person's unique situation rather than on labels. He prefers working with people who are ready to try changes and build resilience.
Background and approach
Sessions can be more direct and goal-focused or more conversational, depending on what the person wants. His work blends body-based awareness with practical tools from therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He offers short experiments between sessions instead of traditional homework.
These experiments are meant to be simple and practical to try in everyday life. Benjamin explains next steps clearly and often collaborates on a simple treatment plan when that fits. He also reads session notes aloud at the end of meetings so people know what was discussed and what comes next.
First sessions begin with a friendly greeting, some routine questions about rights and risk, and a lead-in question to get the conversation started. He holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Arizona and Colorado and practices from Colorado. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered using several online formats to fit different needs.
How somatic work and talking therapy fit online
Somatic work encourages noticing the body and its signals, then using that awareness to change how someone reacts to stress or old patterns. This can help with trauma responses, anxiety, sleep problems, and chronic tension by bringing attention to breath, posture, and bodily sensations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward a meaningful life. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts and still act on what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people connect and relates those patterns to present-day relationships. It can be useful for issues like abandonment, communication problems, and intimacy challenges. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life situation. That process is flexible and revisited as progress unfolds. Online sessions offer practical benefits for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls let the therapist and client see body language and practice exercises together. Phone sessions suit those who prefer voice-only contact, and live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around daily routines.Frequently asked questions
