About Benjamin

Benjamin Wayburn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of concerns. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He works with people who want to build resilience, solve problems calmly, and reclaim self-respect.

His approach blends body-aware and talk-based methods. He believes good care for the body helps the brain and vice versa. Sessions combine direct goal-setting with a gentler, conversational style when preferred. Benjamin offers brief experiments to try between meetings rather than traditional homework.

He aims to create a nonjudgmental, inclusive space where clients can speak freely. He takes notes during sessions and often reads them aloud at the end to reflect on progress. This helps keep conversations focused and aligned with agreed goals.

Initial meetings start with a casual greeting and basic formalities including rights and a standard risk check, then move into a lead-in question to get the conversation going. From there he either outlines a collaborative plan or lets goals emerge naturally through discussion.

Benjamin has eight years of professional experience and practices in Colorado. He combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and client-centered listening to support personal growth. People who prefer clear direction or a looser exploratory style can both find ways to shape their work together.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with trust, intimacy, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person sets the pace and focus of sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation guides whether they use ACT, attachment ideas, client-centered listening, or a mix of methods so the plan fits the individual's needs.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also allows flexibility in how people show up - some prefer a direct, goal-focused session while others like a looser, exploratory conversation - and the therapist adapts accordingly.
