Benjamin Wayburn, LPC

Benjamin Wayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or addictions. He also supports people working through parenting strains, career stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Benjamin positions relationship issues naturally in his work while focusing on each person's unique story.

He approaches therapy with openness and acceptance. Benjamin says what matters most is a person's willingness to change and build resilience. He talks plainly in sessions, offers experiments to try between meetings, and avoids framing concerns only as diagnoses.

Sessions begin with a casual greeting and routine paperwork about rights and risk. Benjamin takes notes during sessions and reads them aloud at the end so clients have a clear sense of what was covered. He can be direct when someone wants goal-focused planning or follow a more conversational path to identify goals.

Benjamin blends methods from acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-focused work, client-centered conversations, and cognitive behavioral ideas. He emphasizes mind-body connections and practical problem solving rather than medical labels.

People who do best with him tend to be coming to therapy by choice, ready to try new ways of handling relationships and life stressors. He aims to help clients build steadier problem solving, clearer communication, and greater self-respect over time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life-change decisions by teaching simple steps to move toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and shift how they connect with others, which is useful for communication and intimacy problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before, then try methods that fit the person's needs. That plan can change as therapy progresses so the work stays practical and useful.

Confirm session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when schedules demand, and let people use methods like behavioral experiments between sessions without extra travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-focused work, and CBT to online conversations so people can practice new skills in real life and bring their experiences back to the session.
