About Benjamin
Benjamin Gleaves is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Kansas with 11 years of experience. He focuses on practical ways to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and improve self-esteem. Benjamin often works with men facing midlife questions and life transitions, helping them find clearer direction.
He uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to address mood disorder symptoms, panic attacks, and social anxiety. Sessions aim to identify patterns that feed worry and impulsivity, and to build new skills for coping and communication. Benjamin brings a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included in their work.
His approach centers on collaborative problem solving. He listens for the small habits and thoughts that make daily life harder, then tests manageable changes that can improve mood and function. He also helps people navigate workplace stress, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation.
Practical goals often include clearer boundaries, improved communication, and steps toward purpose or forgiveness. Benjamin pays attention to attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, and control issues that show up in relationships. He supports people in reducing impulsivity and rebuilding steadier routines.
People who meet with him can expect direct feedback, structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, and room to explore deeper meaning when needed. To start, he asks about what matters most now and what small changes could make a difference soon.
How CBT Shapes Online Work and Practical Change
Benjamin primarily draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to change how people feel. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and managing angry or avoidant reactions.He also brings a faith-informed perspective when clients want to include spiritual values in sessions, using those values as a guide for meaning and decision-making rather than as a clinical technique.
Finding the right approach is often a team effort. He will work with each person to figure out whether CBT, values-based discussion, or a mix of methods fits best. That choice is guided by the client's goals, daily routine, and what feels useful in early meetings.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules need flexibility. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between meetings to track small changes and measure progress over time.
