Benjamin Gleaves, LCPC

Benjamin Gleaves is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. He draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people move through difficult emotions and life changes.

His approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), used to identify unhelpful thoughts and reshape day-to-day patterns. Sessions focus on clear, usable tools - simple behavior changes, thought exercises, and small experiments to test new ways of coping. This makes therapy feel active and goal-oriented rather than vague or purely reflective.

Benjamin combines clinical techniques with a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included. He listens for each person’s values and goals and works from there. This helps when people face workplace pressure, relationship strain, or questions about life purpose.

He regularly supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, mood shifts, and the sense of isolation that can come with big transitions. He also addresses matters like communication problems, control issues, and forgiveness in practical terms that fit daily life.

People seeking help for midlife crisis concerns will find that he focuses on exploration and forward steps rather than labels. The emphasis is on short-term strategies that build into longer-term changes and clearer direction.

Using CBT Online to Manage Life Transitions

Benjamin practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions typically include setting clear goals, practicing thought records or behavioral experiments, and building routines that support daily functioning.

He also offers a faith-informed perspective when clients request it, integrating personal values into the work while keeping sessions practical. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what actually helps in day-to-day life.
