About Benjamin

Benjamin Jensen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Pennsylvania. He brings nine years of experience to his work and uses a practical, person-focused approach that values each client's unique needs. Benjamin meets people where they are and helps them sort through the issues that feel most urgent in daily life.

Benjamin blends several ways of working rather than sticking to one method. He draws on Mindfulness Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered principles to shape sessions. He pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and meaning connect, and uses that view to plan next steps with each person.

Sessions are shaped around what the client needs that day. Benjamin focuses on practical skills for handling anxiety, stress, grief, anger, and relationship strain. He also assists people dealing with trauma, parenting pressures, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and other life changes.

He works with people on communication, boundaries, commitment and trust, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related concerns. Benjamin takes a nonjudgmental stance and tries to respect each person’s values and background while testing new ways to cope and grow.

People who choose him can expect collaborative planning, straightforward tools to practice between meetings, and gentle encouragement to try new approaches. Clients are invited to set goals and change the pace as needed while Benjamin adjusts methods to fit their progress.

How these approaches translate to online care

Benjamin often uses Mindfulness Therapy in sessions to help people notice body sensations and thoughts without getting overwhelmed; this can be useful for anxiety, stress, and grief. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them even when strong feelings are present. Client-centered therapy is another part of his work, prioritizing the client's perspective and pacing so people feel heard and in charge of choices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Benjamin works with each person to see which methods fit their goals and daily life. He adjusts tools and homework based on progress and feedback so the plan evolves over time.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes continuing care possible when life requires flexibility. Licensed professionals can tailor the session length and frequency to match work, family, or caregiving demands, helping therapy fit into everyday routines rather than interrupting them.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
