More about Benjamin
- 9 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 9 years of experience in working with people who are trying to live with and recover from a wide range of struggles including addictions, depression, trauma, family issues, and coping with day-to-day life.
I see you as a person, not as a problem. I believe that the struggles in our life are often just ways of trying to survive. Many of these things may have started as adaptive skills that kept you alive. Over time, these have come to instead serve to keep you stuck and they need to be replaced with something that fits the next season of your life.
I will work to understand your concerns and struggles, and work with you to make a plan to move forward toward the way that you want life to be. I look forward to working with you!

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.
