Benjamin has been very helpful with my anxiety and panic attacks. Within one session, my panic attacks decreased by a major amount. I now only after three weeks can actually attend work and normal events with little to no anxiety. He has helped me in all aspects of looking at my life and identifying triggers that I never would of though of. He answers texts in a reasonable time manner and is very invested in my wellbeing.

I have never matched with a therapist so quickly. By the middle of my first session, I knew Ben was going to be a great match to work with.
More about Benjamin

Hello. I am a clinical mental health counselor who is licensed in multiple states and have 6 years of experience as a counselor. I use an eclectic approach to counseling as I believe each and every person is unique and requires their own style of counseling and learning. I have worked with individuals ranging from crisis to depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, relationship issues, trauma, and family concerns. I have worked with troubled children and their families.
I truly believe that the body, mind, emotions, and spirituality are all interconnected and in order to get the best results possible, you have to examine all areas of a persons life to help balance out their needs.
My counseling style is also eclectic in that I can match the approach to the needs of my client. I believe in treating everyone with respect and strive to always do the best I can to help my clients. I see each person as an individual and understand that each person has their own perspectives and understandings of their environment, allowing me to individualize each meeting we have together.
It would be my pleasure to have the opportunity to help you in anyway I can to help you through your life journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have never matched with a therapist so quickly. By the middle of my first session, I knew Ben was going to be a great match to work with.
Against all odds, I found a therapist who knew exactly what I am going through since he, himself, has gone through the very same thing. This thing is uncommon and rarely understood, including by professionals. I have gone through several therapists and almost gave up until I decided to try just one more therapist. Seriously, if one were to legitimately calculate the odds of this happenstance, those odds would be astronomically against its possibility.
Benjamin is great, highly recommend!
Benjamin is a great listener and knows how to make you feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend him as a therapist.
Benjamin is amazing and with his experience outside of therapy he can offer a different perspective.
I’ve done therapy off and on for about 5 years now, working with four different therapist. Benjamin reminds me a lot of the first therapist I worked with. Unfortunately I was unable to continue to work with that therapist due to an insurance change. I am glad that I found Benjamin and BetterHelp. Benjamin taught me more in just a couple of session than my last therapist did in an entire year. Benjamin is concerned with my safety, progress, and mental health. He’s willing to allow me to lead my journey and he’s very knowledgeable. I would recommend Benjamin to others!
Benjamin has already been such a great asset in my journey to a better life! He actually gives me solutions and listens to what’s wrong. I appreciate him very much.
Great therapist
Ben has been great so far.
Ben has been great to talk with. He’s personable and leaves good space for me to talk about anything, but really gets to the point when he speaks. I’ve only had a few sessions with him and he’s been great at suggesting some easy tools that have been working for me. All around good dude.
Benjamin does an excellent job of listening to his patients and responding to their concerns. He is able and willing to understand experiences that are not his own.
Hes just amazing and can offer help in more ways than one
A couple sessions in I feel more in control and feel like I’m building a good foundation.
He’s great
Benjamin is great. Listens to me, provides great feedback and insight.
He’s attentive and effective in his methods. I appreciate his effort and willingness to understand
He is extremely understanding and helpful
Down to earth and very kind.
I am very happy with my Therapist to date. He has been very helpful with my most challenging areas and has provided me wIth the tools necessary to overcome my challenges.
Ben is a good listener and offers a wide variety of helpful advice and workshops to get you in a better frame of mind
Benjamin had exhibited great understanding of the foundation for healthy improvement, introducing tried and tested techniques to begin base level change, followed by advancement at a pace I am comfortable with. So far he has helped create a pathway to lasting improvements!
This is my fourth time at therapy. Every time before each therapist focused on a specific issue I was dealing with at that time. It usually takes months to get to the crux of the issue and then start attacking it. This maybe due to time needed for the therapist to understand where I’m coming from and time for me to trust the therapist’s ability to help. For the first time, trust was established from day one. I need two things from my therapist. Display a comprehensive understanding of mental health and lower the facade of pleasantries, meaning be open to anything I say without judgment and respond with objective honesty. All we can do here is to “do the work”, and Benjamin has helped me to start doing just that.
Thank you so much Benjamin for your support and understanding
Ben used his personal experience and training in psychotherapy to provide solutions when I was feeling anxious or depressed. He provided specific and actionable tools that allowed me to get out of a worried state of mind. Sessions with him were helpful - as they were well-structured and he explained the cause underneath many uncomfortable states of mind. I would highly recommend him as a psychotherapist.
Ben is great. He has a wide range of experience and we have a lot in common. He is a good fit for me.
He always there when I need him n very understanding
10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Has helped me through a really hard time in my life. Understood and helped me gain new life skills and confidence in myself. I highly recommend him.
Benjamin has been a great help! He has guides me through a relationship break up with solid mental fundamentals. Anyone would be lucky to have him!
Ben has been amazing so far in the two sessions I have had and provides me with plenty of new healthy coping skills. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
Great therapist, very helpful, available almost 24/7 especially in tough situations
Ben is great to work with and understood my past very quickly as well as understands how to work with me personally for my unique needs. He is very experienced and thoughtful about how he guides me through difficult moments. Thanks for all of your help this year!
I have my panic attacks and anxiety attacks daily and Benjamin is there to help me and remind me there’s steps to do. Thankful to have him
I can't thank him enough for getting me to a place where I can be happy and confident. He is a great listener, and I am grateful for his sessions.
Ben was great! He helped me work through things that were causing me to feel alone, abandoned and hopeless. I highly recommend.
I came to Ben, anxieties at an all time high. Feeling depleted and tired. Ben was able to help me stabilize my anxieties, face my internal fears and help me ground to think clearly. Helping me redirect my energy to a path of self realization, confidence and reassurance to handle a variety of presented issues head on. Ben has a wide range of expertise which has been instrumental in the success of quickly finding the root cause of the issues I was experiencing and a path to healing. Supporting an environment for emotional growth and guidance for bringing forth untapped love into our home I was desperately wanting. Ben deeply cares about you as an individual and the individual experience as you navigate therapy and the excercises. Highly recommend Ben whether you're new to therapy or have been in therapy for years. Thanks, Ben!
It's been a healthy and productive few sessions!
Great work
Extremely helpful, and understand that therapy doesn't have to be clinical.
Great specialist , very different ways / tricks and practice to resolve problems. All my questions were answered in great detail with explanation. Perfect!
Benjamin has helped me grow so much, I don't know where I would be today without his guidance. Thank you for helping me when I really need it!
He’s great and kinda busy
Benjamin Jensen, is amazing I've only chatted a few times and already feel more better an confident that he will be the one that can truly help me heal an become the person I know I can be he is caring thoughtful and goes out of his way to respond back quickly an truly wants to help you
I’ve had one session so far so my answers are based on that first hour session. But so far I feel hopeful on Bens ability to understand and articulate what I’ve brought forward so far
Ben's a great guy. I don't even know where to begin with this guy because of how impressed I've been. He listens without judgement, provides constructive feedback, willing to admit when he's wrong, there for you and willing to do what it takes to show you that. If you're like me then you're probably hesitant to open up. I get it. It's scary. This guy, though, has your back and lets you be you. So, be you and he'll lend you an ear and some great advice.
I love how through Benjamin is in finding out the root cause and naturally solving the problem. I appreciate the fact that Benjamin takes the time to actually understand me as a person and know my background instead of going off of treating symptoms. He uses logic to deconstruct my actions to help me recognize my patterns and I feel like I have someone in my corner who is willing to help. Highly recommend if you are someone who appreciates the science behind the emotional responses.
Extremely understanding, open minded, and intelligent. He has helped me a lot and felt comfortable with him right away which is hard to find. I feel like I can express myself openly without judgment.
Benjamin has made my experience in therapy very pleasing and easy. I’m happy to have found him and get to have such a good experience off the bat in therapy which isn’t easy being a male. He’s allowed me to actually like it and to learn new techniques in solving problems. Great listener and helps a lot with difficult situations. Very satisfied with my experience with him!
Benjamin is the best there is.
Easily one of the greatest therapists anyone could ever come across! The amount of times I’ve encountered a problem with high anxiety-every time he has brought that down from a 10 to 0 without failure. He genuinely cares for his clients and you can sense it during sessions with him-can’t say enough good about him! I owe my life to this incredible therapist, highly recommend him
Ben is very kind and supportive. I enjoy him as a therapist a great deal. He is very relatable.
Thanks
Benjamin is exceptional! He was always willing to go above and beyond to support me. The insights he gave me stuck with me, and I think about our conversations months and months later. He did a great job of helping me actually make change in my life, and I will forever be grateful
Ben is freaking amazing! He helped me identify my areas of weaknesses and helped me work on them. I’ve gone through several therapists and he’s exceptionally wonderful!
Benjamin is so awesome! He listened, took time to listen to all of my concerns, and has really helped me come up with a game plan to work on my mental well-being.
Ben has been a great resource of information, support and guidance. I didn't know what I really expected from the process of counselling but it has far exceeded my expectations. He is very quick to respond, consistently available and has really given me the confidence that I have the support I need to tackle tough conversations. I would recommend better help and Ben to anyone looking for support.
I had a great first meeting with Benjamin. I am looking forward to our future sessions.
I have been talking to Benjamin for the past few months and he has been very helpful for my anxiety and stress and general mood in a particularly tense period in my life. He listens, is very respectful and makes you feel at ease while providing useful tips to manage everyday life situations.
Benjamin Jensen is alert, sensitive, and attentive to my issues and my feelings of the moment. Thank you for your recommendations to take care of me.
I have had bad experiences with therapy help. Benjamin was the opposite of that. He exceeded my expectations and created a safe space. He is very knowledgable and knows how to help. I highly recommend him!
Benjamin Jensen has been awesome at helping me with developing skills to manage my anxiety. He is very knowledgeable and has a great approach to his counseling.
Ben has helped me through my metamorphosis of my life as I was dragging my ass out of Virginia to Utah and helping me to become a better person. Through those sessions that I have had with him, he has helped me love myself unconditionally and I cannot pay a price high enough that would show how grateful I am to him. The only price I can pay is my gratitude and my friendship he is an incredible human being and I will always be grateful for him. I could not go through all of these life changes without him. He has accepted me, loved me, and supported me throughout what I consider the hardest and most challenging period of my life and yet, it has been the most rewarding. He has augmented how rewarding my life changes have been. Thank you Ben! You know who I am
Benjamin helped me see how o looked at self value and abs how to look at my qualities within rather than compare what I have and have not accomplished. I initially seemed out counseling to help with my spending money habits and addiction. I’be learned that my spending habits strongly associated with how I saw my value in worldly things. Thank you so much!
I feel extremely comforted and understood by Ben. His questions, ways of breaking down complex thought, emotion, and behavior into day to day action, and his coping strategies of how to view life through a different lens have made a huge impact after only a few sessions. Highly recommend!
I've been bouncing from therapist to therapist for over two years now. This is the first time I feel like I am collaborating with a therapist on my mental health. I truly feel like I have an advocate who is helping me live according to my own values. Highly recommend!!
