About Benjamin
Benjamin 'Ben' Galloso centers his work on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while blending client-centered and emotionally focused perspectives to address emotional and behavioral patterns.
Background and approach
He draws on 14 years of clinical experience as a licensed social worker to help clients explore how thoughts, feelings, and bodily signals interact with coping habits and life choices. Ben also integrates hypnotherapy selectively when both therapist and client agree it will support the work.
He has a broad clinical portfolio that includes stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and challenges related to gender and sexual identity. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment, body image and shame, codependency, communication problems, HIV/AIDS, infidelity, and questions of life purpose.
Ben practices in Florida and offers services in English and Spanish. Holding LICSW and LCSW credentials, he frames therapy as a collaborative, heart-centered process that invites clients to notice patterns, make meaning, and pursue personal growth.
He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring treatment to each person's values and goals.
Bringing CBT and Client-Centered Care Online
Benjamin 'Ben' Galloso frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach useful for anxiety, depression, and many habit-related concerns. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and supporting a client's own capacity for insight and growth, creating space for exploration without judgment. In some cases he incorporates Emotionally-Focused techniques to help people better understand and name their feelings and relational patterns.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist works with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and experiences. Ben tailors sessions and may combine CBT, client-centered listening, EFT strategies, or light hypnotherapy when both parties agree it will be helpful, so treatment evolves as needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. These remote formats make it possible to continue steady therapeutic work from different locations while keeping focus on concrete skills, emotional awareness, and behavioral change.
