About Benjamin

Benjamin Gleaves, LCPC, centers his practice on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while integrating a compassionate, client-focused perspective developed over 11 years in Kansas.

Background and approach

He emphasizes practical tools and collaborative problem solving to address depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns, tailoring interventions to the individual needs and life circumstances of each person.

His work also attends to a wide range of related issues including panic and mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, workplace stress, and life transitions such as divorce and midlife reevaluation. He draws on evidence-based methods to help clients manage impulsivity, communication and control issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and feelings of isolation or purposelessness.

Benjamin aims to create a respectful therapeutic space that acknowledges personal beliefs and supports exploration of identity, forgiveness, and purpose. He offers flexible formats for ongoing care and focuses on helping clients build practical coping strategies and clearer paths forward while honoring each person’s unique journey.

CBT-informed Online Support and Practical Tools



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of his online practice and focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress. Through structured exercises and skills practice, CBT helps clients develop concrete coping strategies and clearer perspectives on recurring problems.

Alongside CBT, he takes a client-centered approach that values each person's priorities and background. This means the therapist collaborates with clients to choose techniques and pacing that match their goals, adjusting focus as needs evolve and encouraging active involvement in shaping the treatment plan.

Online therapy with this clinician offers practical flexibility: sessions are available by video call or phone, and ongoing contact can be maintained through live chat or text-based messaging when appropriate. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy schedules and to continue skill-building between real-time appointments, while working with licensed professionals who guide the process and adapt methods to each individual's situation.
