About Benjamin
Benjamin Zeiger is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing relationship stress, LGBTQ concerns, family conflict, anger, and low self-esteem. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried people and parents seeking support. He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and painful episodes.
Sessions focus on listening closely to a person's story and on finding small, practical changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
The tone is steady and direct rather than clinical or abstract. Benjamin draws on Narrative approaches to look at how a person’s life stories shape their choices and identity. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people accept hard feelings while choosing meaningful actions.
Mindfulness and existential ideas show up when clients want to examine values, purpose, and presence in everyday life. Typical conversations might include how to improve communication, manage anger, address gender or sexuality questions, or navigate consensual kink and non-monogamous relationships. He also supports people dealing with shame, guilt, process addictions, and questions about life direction.
Benjamin holds a Florida LMFT credential and brings six years of professional experience. He offers sessions in English and works with adults seeking practical, story-focused therapy that centers the client's voice.

Online session options
Online therapy that centers your story and values
Benjamin often uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and to consider new, more helpful narratives. This approach can be useful for changing patterns in relationships, identity, and self-image. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. That can help with shame, anxiety about identity, and persistent behavioral patterns.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Benjamin will work collaboratively to test which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. He adjusts the mix of narrative listening, ACT exercises, and client-centered conversation as the work progresses so changes feel practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversational work and reading nonverbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging is useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
