About Benjamin
Benjamin Gleaves is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Kansas with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses coping with life changes and related concerns in straightforward, practical sessions.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a central tool to help clients notice patterns of thought and behavior that fuel distress. Sessions focus on concrete skills - identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new responses in everyday situations. Work often includes short exercises and homework between sessions to build new habits.
Benjamin integrates attention to attachment and abandonment issues when those are part of someone's concerns. He also helps with communication problems, control issues, impulse-related behaviors, and forgiveness work. Conversations commonly address workplace stress, social anxiety, panic symptoms, and feelings of isolation.
Clients looking at midlife questions or men's issues will find material aimed at practical decision-making and values-based action. He supports people through divorce and separation-related decisions and the emotional fallout that follows.
Sessions are described plainly and without jargon. Expectations, goals, and simple steps are set early so people know what to try between visits. Prospective clients should confirm current session format options before booking.
How CBT and brief skills work online
Benjamin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT sessions focus on clear, step-by-step strategies such as identifying automatic thoughts, testing assumptions, and practicing alternative responses to reduce panic and worry.When attachment or abandonment themes are present, he will bring them into the CBT framework to link past patterns with current reactions. That helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions and what concrete actions can change those reactions over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life, adjusting pacing and practice as needed. That collaborative decision-making helps keep sessions practical and goal-focused.
