About Benjamin

Benjamin Jensen is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

He draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs, believing that mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual factors all interact and matter in the healing process.

Jensen has supported people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, intimacy-related matters, anger, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, among other areas. His practice emphasizes matching techniques to the individual rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Jensen reports experience with crisis work, family dynamics, and children in need of extra support, and he frames sessions around respect for each client’s perspective and lived experience. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with scheduling based on therapist availability.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Benjamin Jensen commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and mood, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT emphasizes building psychological flexibility through acceptance, mindfulness, and values-based action, which is useful for coping with difficult emotions and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust strategies based on what resonates and what produces progress. That partnership helps determine whether CBT, ACT, or a blended set of methods will best support each person's concerns and preferences.

Online therapy with Jensen uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity while traveling or living abroad, and revisit materials between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these options to tailor pace and communication style so therapy remains accessible and consistent with each client's needs.
