About Benjamin
Benjamin Gleaves is a licensed clinical professional counselor - LCPC - based in Kansas with 11 years of experience. He focuses on practical, goal-oriented support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He keeps conversations direct and compassionate to help someone take the next step toward feeling better.
His approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people spot patterns in thoughts and actions and try small, concrete changes.
How Benjamin works
He combines that with an openness to faith-informed perspectives when clients want that included. Sessions often focus on real-life problems like panic attacks, social anxiety, and workplace stress. Benjamin pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues and how those shape reactions to relationships and separation.
He also addresses communication problems, control issues, and the emotional fallout from divorce and separation. Those topics are explored with short-term strategies and steps people can practice between sessions. He supports people working through impulsivity, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Men's issues and midlife shifts are areas he has spent extra time on, offering a straightforward space to talk honestly. He uses tools from CBT to help people build skills that stick. For practical matters, sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Benjamin speaks English and practices in Kansas as an LCPC.

Applying CBT and Practical Tools Online
Benjamin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as the primary approach. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and social fears.He also integrates faith-informed perspectives when clients want that included. That means faith can be one part of conversations about values, meaning, and coping strategies if it matters to the person. Together, therapist and client decide which elements to use based on needs and goals in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper weekly sessions when seeing facial cues helps. Phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, homework support, or scheduling quick conversations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
