Benjamin Wayburn, LPC

Benjamin Wayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. He also supports those struggling with self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

He focuses on the connection between body and mind, and uses that as a starting point in sessions. He emphasizes acceptance and openness, and approaches each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis. He aims to help people build resilience, stronger problem-solving skills, and healthier self-respect.

Sessions are collaborative. Benjamin offers a mix of direct goal-setting and a gentler, more conversational way of finding goals when that fits better. He suggests experiments to try between conversations instead of assigning strict homework, and he reviews brief session notes at the end of meetings.

He is comfortable being straightforward when a clear plan is helpful, and equally comfortable letting momentum from the conversation guide the work. First meetings start with a casual greeting, a short run-through of rights and risks, and a lead-in question to get talking.

With eight years of clinical work, Benjamin blends practical techniques and a person-centered stance. His aim is to help people reduce symptoms, try new ways of coping, and restore a sense of agency in day-to-day life.

How Benjamin’s approaches translate to online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, sleep problems, or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions that build a meaningful life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people experiment with new ways of relating and communicating.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Benjamin works with each person to see which methods feel most useful, adjusting plans as goals and preferences become clearer. He mixes direct goal-setting with more open conversation so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling, and ongoing connection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using ACT, CBT, and attachment work in practical ways.
