Benjamin Wayburn, LPC

Benjamin Wayburn, LPC, helps people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, addiction, depression, and related struggles. He approaches therapy without judging and focuses on each person’s unique situation instead of labels. Sessions are aimed at restoring daily functioning, building self-respect, and developing resilience.

Benjamin frames mental health as linked to the body and vice versa. He uses straightforward conversation and practical experiments instead of traditional homework. Those who come ready to make changes and try new strategies tend to fit well with his style.

He balances direct and non-direct approaches. When someone prefers clarity, he helps set concrete goals and a treatment plan. When people prefer to let themes emerge, he follows the flow of the session to identify priorities together.

Benjamin strives to provide a welcoming space and to collaborate with each person. He takes notes during sessions and summarizes them at the end so clients leave with a clear sense of what was covered. Between meetings he suggests small experiments to try in daily life.

A typical first session starts with a friendly greeting, a review of rights and risk-related questions, and an opening question to get the conversation going. He practices inclusivity and aims to help people rebuild problem-solving skills and healthier relationship patterns.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Benjamin commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, among other methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and building a meaningful routine. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, helping people understand trust, closeness, and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin will discuss how these methods might fit a client’s goals and preferences and will collaborate to pick or blend strategies that feel most helpful. He aims to tailor experiments and practice tasks to each person’s daily life.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the therapist's profile does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Therapists adapt exercises, goal-setting, and between-session experiments to work well in remote meetings when that format is used.
