About Benjamin
Benjamin Fendrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. He brings seven years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Benjamin offers a direct and compassionate style aimed at practical steps forward.
He works from where each person is and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on immediate problems like sleep trouble, parenting strain, grief, or workplace stress. He also supports people facing mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, and issues with impulse control or isolation.
How Benjamin works
Benjamin blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That means conversations start with the client's priorities, then move to clear strategies for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He uses motivational techniques to strengthen resolve when change feels hard.
His background includes clinical work related to trauma and substance use, which informs a careful, patient approach. He helps people talk through difficult experiences and build routines that improve daily life. Practical tools and small behavioral changes are common parts of his work.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused. Benjamin emphasizes collaboration and respects individual strengths and goals. He guides people through concrete steps so progress feels manageable and realistic.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Benjamin uses client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person’s priorities. That approach centers on listening, empathy, and building on existing strengths so clients feel heard and understood.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers clear strategies for sleep problems, anxiety, mood issues, and patterns that fuel addiction or impulsivity. Motivational Interviewing is another tool he uses to help people find their own reasons to change and to strengthen commitment when motivation is low.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options, check what feels useful, and adapt methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. This collaboration helps tailor sessions to each person's situation rather than applying a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversational feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or steady support between sessions, and text can be used for brief updates or planning. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
