About Benjamin
Benjamin Di Biase is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 11 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. He also addresses problems like low self-esteem, grief, addiction, parenting strain, anger, career stress, bipolar mood challenges, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Benjamin frames therapy as a practical effort. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them notice what already works. Sessions focus on clear steps and small experiments to try different ways of thinking and behaving. He avoids vague promises and aims for concrete changes clients can use day to day.
He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test alternative responses. He also works with EMDR for trauma-related symptoms and with Narrative Therapy to help people reframe life stories. These methods are described and chosen with the client rather than imposed.
Clients can expect a straightforward conversation about current problems and specific goals for therapy. Benjamin prioritizes building practical skills, planning manageable homework, and reviewing progress together. Notes and adjustments happen regularly so sessions remain focused on what helps most.
He practices in Washington and holds the LICSW credential. Sessions are conducted in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online intake process.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Benjamin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT focuses on noticing patterns, testing new responses, and practicing skills that reduce distress in daily life. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for processing memories tied to trauma and strong reactions. EMDR involves structured sets of attention and reflection to reduce the intensity of troubling memories. Narrative Therapy is another approach he uses to examine and reframe personal stories, helping people see different possibilities and choices.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what proves most useful in sessions.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and the ability to fit brief check-ins into a workday or a busy week. Since the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to continue regular practice and homework between meetings without requiring travel.
