About Benjamin
Benjamin Gleaves is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Kansas. He uses clear, evidence-based techniques to help people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and mood concerns. People who contact him often want practical steps they can try between sessions and straightforward guidance during hard moments.
He draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, working with clients to notice thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Sessions focus on concrete skills for handling panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, and shifting moods. The tone is direct and respectful, with room for personal values and faith to be part of the conversation when a client wants that.
Over 11 years of practice have shaped an approach that blends structured tools with open listening. Benjamin helps clients break problems into manageable parts and set small, realistic goals. He also pays attention to relationship patterns like attachment and communication that can affect daily life.
Common areas he addresses include grief over separation, frustration with control issues or impulsivity, and the loneliness that can come with life transitions. He often works with men facing midlife questions and people looking for clearer life purpose and direction.
Sessions are meant to be collaborative. Benjamin explains techniques, tries them together with clients, and adjusts plans based on what actually helps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How CBT translates to online work
Benjamin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT breaks issues into small, practical steps so people can try changes between sessions and track what helps.The approach is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, mood shifts, and stress management because it provides clear tools like breathing practice, behavioral experiments, and thought records. These tools make it easier to notice patterns and change reactions over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals and daily life. If something does not fit, he adjusts the plan and tries alternatives so sessions stay useful and focused on outcomes the client cares about.
