About Benjamin
Benjamin Jensen is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Pennsylvania. He holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and brings nine years of clinical experience to his work. He focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship and family problems.
He also helps people facing trauma, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, and career transitions. Benjamin uses Narrative Therapy alongside tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Background and approach
He adapts sessions to fit each person rather than using one set method. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on your stories and what you want to change. In session he listens for patterns that shape how people see themselves and their relationships.
Then he helps uncover alternatives and small steps that can shift those patterns. He works with issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, blended family challenges, and intimacy-related concerns. Benjamin values plain language and clear goals.
He aims to make sessions feel respectful and collaborative. People often leave with concrete coping ideas and ways to try things between meetings. He offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
International clients who speak English can work with him. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Online session options
Approaches you can use online
Benjamin blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternative stories that open up new choices. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking action that matters. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the person’s lead and supports self-directed growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods and experiments to try between sessions, adjusting the plan as needed based on what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break or work when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or to use brief coaching-style support. These options make it easier to match therapy to daily life and different schedules.
