More about Benjamin
- 7 years' experience
- Male
- LPC, LMHC, LCPC
The issues I work with in therapy are mind-body issues. I do not have a mental illness approach. What is good for the body is good for the brain and vice versa. My openness and inclusivity influence my approach to therapy. I do not judge. I accept. I am more interested in your uniqueness than your diagnosis and I expect a full recovery in treatment.
I specialize in the spectrum of Depression and Mood Disorders, Anxiety treatments, and Trauma. I offer natural and behavioral treatments that have been shown through research to perform as well as, better than, and/or improve anti-depressants.
Research has shown that the fit between counselor and client is one of the most significant contributors to a person's success in therapy. I cant guarantee that I will be the best fit. I can say that I am not afraid to go wherever counseling takes us. Please reach out and we will work together to raise the quality of life

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Very professional.
Great listener, and very experienced with ways to define what is troubling you.
My therapist understands me and always brings out a positive outlook.
Benjamin has been my therapist for several years and has always provided me with the support I need. I've asked for "homework" feedback, advice and more and he is always able to provide!
I've only had two sessions with Ben, but both sessions felt thorough and genuinely helpful. Ben patiently listened to what all I had to say while replying with sincere, helpful, and straightforward responses.
Ben has a depth of knowledge that he brings to every call that I truly appreciate. He is an incredible listener. He knows when to ask the right questions and has an incredible way of tying it all together. I highly recommend and appreciate him.
Benjamin is attentive and also very smart. He addresses the issues that are important to you. He offers some great practices for challenge your thinking. Since working with Benjamin I am able to communicate with my spouse in a more meaningful and deeper way.
Ben is excellent, I am grateful to have found someone so skilled at what he does. Thank you.
Ben has always been supportive and a great listener and helps guide me to seeing new ways of looking at my problems.
Professional, compassionate and excellent at guiding to have ME take action.
Ben is a very understanding and friendly individual that has the tools to help you understand and tackle what you are dealing with. And he takes notes!
Benjamin Wayburn has only bettered my life. Without him, I don’t know how I could have begun to manage and cope with the trauma I’ve experienced. I am very thankful for him.
very good, listens well, and provides good feedback
Benjamin has been extremely kind, patient, and helpful. We’ve talked about a variety of issues and each week, I feel better after our conversations and walk away with actionable steps to take. My relationship has improved tremendously as a result of our work together.
Benjamin is a primary example of professional. I was impressed and will be hard-pressed to find better.
Benjamin’s therapy method is very validating and healing. He’s always professional and always able to help me structure my thoughts and feelings in a healthy and resilient way.
Ben has been very helpful for me figuring things out in my life, and providing me with experiments and tools to try and solve things. Couldn’t recommend him more
Very professional, thoughtful, respectful and a subject matter expert. I feel empowered after each session with Benjamin and appreciate his support and words of encouragement. I’m very grateful to have him as my therapist!
Ben is wonderful. He has helped me greatly in a way that works best for me. I am sure he can help you in the best way for you as well. Very attentive and thoughtful.
Sucked.
Ben is very understanding and intuitive and has helped me sort out a lot, I couldn’t recommend him more.
Benjamin was incredibly kind and very insightful. He provided me with so much knowledge to advance myself forward in life, career, social situations, family issues, and more. He was timely and respectful and created a sense of comfort that allowed me to be able to open up more so than I'm used to. He read me back what I would say during our sessions which I think was the most beneficial aspect because it helped me reflect on everything immediately. I strongly recommend him as he is kind-hearted and a great listener who also provides a great deal of advice!
Felt cold and not compassionate.
Amazing therapist. I started in a dark place. Just having someone to talk to was so important to me. The healing that has been done is invaluable to me.
Benjamin is a great therapist. Excellent listener. He has a structure to his sessions and is very punctual, both for starting and ending a session, which I actually found very useful for making sure I stayed focused and got something out of the session. I'd recommend him to anyone!
Wonderful person. Does a great job at listening but also giving helpful feedback and ideas on how to move forward
After trying therapy in a few different forms over the past year, I felt like I was getting nowhere. After a devastating no-show from another therapist when I really needed to talk to someone, I found Benjamin and I am SO grateful that it happened exactly as it did. I have gotten more out of the three 30 minute sessions with him than I did from all of my other work combined. He is gentle and kind, he listens and responds with so much care and thought and has given me actual usable tools to apply in my daily life that have made an astounding difference. I so highly recommend him and his approach. I can't wait to see where his help will take me moving forward!
Very good therapist he did help me rough time and my life
Really enjoyed talking with Ben
Benjamin is kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable in his field. He has steered me to some important concepts which have helped me to challenge my behaviors and begin to make the changes I need. I definitely recommend his counseling services.
Ben was my 6th attempt to match with a therapist I like (3rd try in BetterHelp), and my search ended with Ben. I deal with chronic depression/anxiety and Ben has really helped me to reach a better place by challenging my own self-imposed limitations. He keeps excellent notes and I really felt like Ben was truly invested in helping me to improve my mental health. Ben is always making sure that his approach is meeting your needs. I wanted him to challenge me at times, and to help me keep an even keel. And he responded in the best ways, with gentle prompts and calling back to previous sessions/notes often. Ben has been a huge help to me and I highly recommend him!!!
He was very kind and helpful to work with. I appreciated the way he worded things and asked questions.
Amazing human.
I have had 5 sessions with Benjamin so far. From day 1 he was receptive, concise, and inquisitive. He addresses each concern and understands them - he takes notes and reads them back to you which is a great tool to show that he is understanding what I have talked about and worked on; it is also great for self-reflection. He leaves me with exercises/homework which we talk about on the following session, and gives practical tips to address specific behaviors that might be bothering me. Benjamin is always prepared and knows very well what we are working on and uses past conversations to create the full picture. My sessions with him make me feel like I am learning and discovering new things and really make me feel like I am making progress with what I am going through.
Very thoughtful, and insightful, he’s helped me explore the turmoil in my life, and how I need to properly respond to things, he’s making me a better person!
I appreciate the leading question that helps me think and the notes hi is reading to me at the end of the season are something that I've never experienced before, but I like that. Thank you
Benjamin has been very attentive, he listens and writes detailed notes on what I’m going through. He gives me advice and walks me through my issues, he listens carefully and offers great advice.
He truly listen makes you think .
I enjoy working with Benjamin because he is precise, direct knowledgeable and effective.
He is very easy to talk too and he’s understanding
Very valuable therapist with a wide range of tools. The sessions feel a bit rushed, I wish it was 45min instead of 30. 30 means we are closing the session at min 25.
Benjamin has been an outstanding therapist over the past several weeks. He listens well and offers helpful interpretations/feedback/advice, along with information resources.
Benjamin has been a great help and he has worked very hard to understand and help me with what I have been going through. He is straightforward and tries to give you hope and support. Great therapsit
Very calm and patient. Has offered a nugget of insight each time we've met. Helps me to see things from a different perspective to break my cycles of negative thinking.
Benjamin’s insightful and intelligent understanding of my challenges is a huge help to me in healing from my personal traumas and being present in my life.
Benjamin is a wonderful therapist. I definitely see improvements in my mental health and my perspective in life!
I like Benjamin very much. He has been very helpful.
Ben is a great listener. He provides grounding support and perspective while helping identify the root source of my anxiety.
Great therapist
Working with Benjamin is fulfilling and rewarding. He listens, tries to understand, and really has a lot of insight he is willing to share. I appreciate him.
Only worked together for a short time but made huge progress for me in my opinion. Great listener if you’re trying to speak about past trauma and will help you find little ways to move past it
Find his style and approach very helpful to me and my therapeutic goals.
The sessions I had with Benjamin were very helpful during the time that I was experiencing great loss. He was an excellent listener and sounding board as I worked through my grief. Also, he offered me some guidance for handling my anxiety.
Benjamin is very perceptive and able to get me to see things in a different way. I appreciate his helpful suggestions and techniques to help me work through my issues.
Benjamin has been a wonderful counselor for me in out first few sessions. He listens carefully to what I have to say, takes notes to help us reflect later, is sensative to the kind of therapy works best for me, and I feel respected and supported by him.
Working with Wayburn towards healing past trauma for such a short period of time has felt more productive and progressing forward in a positive direction - 10/10 would recommend lol thanks!
