About Benjamin

Benjamin Di Biase is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Washington who focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and other life disruptions.

Background and approach

He centers work on clients' own strengths and perspectives, helping them draw on what already works in their lives while developing practical skills to manage difficult feelings and situations.

With an LICSW and 11 years of professional experience, Benjamin integrates grounded, evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Narrative Therapy to tailor care to each person's needs. He emphasizes collaboration and views clients as the experts of their own stories, shaping treatment goals together and pacing work according to readiness.

Benjamin also recognizes that beginning therapy can be a courageous step and aims to create a respectful, supportive environment for that process.

Applying CBT, EMDR, and Narrative Work Online

Benjamin integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside narrative approaches to help clients address emotional and interpersonal challenges. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and daily coping. EMDR targets distress linked to traumatic memories by using structured processing to reduce the intensity of those memories and their emotional impact. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, allowing them to highlight strengths and create preferred narratives.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and life context and may blend techniques from different models so treatment fits each person's needs. Clients are invited to give feedback as therapy progresses to ensure methods remain helpful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility for busy schedules or geographic limitations. These options allow for consistent contact and adaptable pacing, making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and access support from wherever the client is located in Washington.
