About Benjamin
Dr. Benjamin Lasky is a licensed psychologist practicing in California. He uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral tools to help people facing strong emotions and life stresses.
He holds credentials as a California Psychologist (PSY19363) and a Nevada Psychologist (PY0726). He focuses on a wide range of concerns including anger, addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. He also supports people navigating relationship problems, intimacy issues, eating struggles, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career or life transitions.
Background and approach
He pays attention to how issues overlap, such as mood symptoms with substance use or codependency patterns. In sessions he listens closely and tries to understand each person’s perspective. He draws on client-centered methods to build rapport and on cognitive-behavioral strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
He also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress. Dr. Lasky has three years of clinical experience and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to conversations.
He aims to balance seriousness with appropriate lightness and to help people notice their strengths. He emphasizes clear, actionable steps rather than long theoretical talks. People considering therapy can expect straightforward explanations of techniques and collaborative goal setting.
Sessions are intended to be a place to talk through stress, anger, addiction concerns, and other challenges and to develop tools that can be used in daily life.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist aims to reflect what you say, validate your feelings, and help you find your own solutions, which can be useful for anger, grief, and relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses clear, structured techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and practice alternative responses, a good fit for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and what works now. It helps people notice progress quickly and build simple strategies they can use between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine techniques as needed.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be handy for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief exchanges between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
