About Benjamin
Benjamin Gleaves is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Kansas. He has 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Benjamin offers straightforward care focused on practical steps to reduce hurt and improve day-to-day functioning.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include clear tools and short exercises clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and focused on what is most troubling right now. Benjamin also helps people navigate life changes like separation, workplace strain, and shifting roles during midlife. He pays attention to issues around attachment, communication, and impulsive reactions so clients can build steadier habits.
Men facing midlife concerns and questions about life purpose are a particular area of interest. He brings a faith-informed perspective when that matters to the person seeking help, and he respects other viewpoints as well. Sessions are aimed at practical progress rather than abstract theory.
Benjamin works with clients who want clear plans and tools they can use between sessions. His practice offers multiple online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People take a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Cognitive Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Benjamin primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, anger, and low self-esteem by breaking problems into manageable steps and teaching practical coping strategies.Sessions may include checking current thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and assigning brief exercises between meetings. This hands-on approach helps people see small improvements quickly and track what works. Benjamin will discuss whether CBT fits a person's goals and can adapt techniques as needs change in collaboration with the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support frequent, brief exchanges and can help maintain momentum between longer sessions. These options allow flexibility to fit sessions into work breaks, travel, or varied schedules while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
