Benjamin Bradley, LPC

Benjamin Bradley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. He has six years of counseling experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction-related concerns. He also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and struggles around self-esteem and life direction.

Benjamin takes a straightforward, respectful approach. He listens first to understand each person's concerns and goals. Then he chooses practical strategies that feel right for the individual rather than using a single fixed method.

In sessions he commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment strategies, and client-centered techniques. That means he helps people notice unhelpful thinking, clarify what matters most to them, and practice new ways of responding to emotions and urges.

He also uses tools from dialectical behavior therapy and existential perspectives when those fit the work. These tools can help with emotion regulation, building healthier habits, and exploring questions of meaning and purpose.

Benjamin offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session based on the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Benjamin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday patterns people want to shift. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present; this approach can help with stress, life transitions, and substance-related urges. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and letting the person's own goals guide the work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what the person finds useful and what progress they want to make.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and more flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum between meetings.
