About Benjamin

Benjamin Jensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with nine years of clinical experience. He practices in Pennsylvania and works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

He uses a mix of therapy approaches rather than a single method. That lets him match the way he works to what each person needs. He lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among his approaches.

Sessions focus on practical conversations and learning skills. He helps people name hard emotions, notice patterns in relationships, and develop concrete ways to cope with daily stress. He also supports people through life changes, career concerns, caregiver stress, and issues tied to attachment and intimacy.

Benjamin has experience across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, compassion fatigue, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues. He also works with people navigating BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual cultures and with aging and geriatric challenges.

He takes an individualized approach to each meeting. Clients can expect straightforward talk, skill building, and collaborative planning so the work connects to everyday life. For international or English-language arrangements, sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How Benjamin brings EFT and skills work to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It helps people recognize how emotions drive interactions and then try new ways of connecting and responding.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports choosing actions that line up with personal values while learning practical ways to handle distress.

Client-centered work prioritizes the person’s own perspective. It involves listening, reflecting, and following what the client notices about their life so the work feels relevant.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Benjamin will collaborate with each client to decide which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using EFT for relationship and attachment patterns and bringing in ACT, CBT, or DBT skills for coping and emotion regulation.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue care across regions, especially for international clients. Benjamin aims to match the approach and format to practical life demands rather than force a single way of working.
