About Benjamin
Benjamin Fendrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside broader life challenges. He draws on seven years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and relationship concerns. He meets clients where they are and centers sessions on practical steps toward clearer goals.
Benjamin uses a straightforward, warm approach in sessions. He avoids stigmatizing labels and looks for each persons strengths. Conversations are collaborative and grounded in the issues that matter most to the client. He supports people navigating grief, parenting strain, workplace problems, and changes in life roles.
His work blends client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and motivational interviewing to help people identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. That mix is often used with people facing substance use concerns, trauma history, or burnout from caregiving and work stress. He aims for practical tools clients can use between meetings.
Benjamin holds a Trauma-informed Care Certificate from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which shapes how he pays attention to past harm and current safety. He emphasizes collaboration when setting goals and respects pacing that fits each person.
People who reach out will be guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. The focus is on usable strategies for everyday life, from improving sleep and managing anger to addressing career questions and rebuilding intimacy.
How Benjamin Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online
Benjamin practices client-centered therapy by focusing on each person's perspective and priorities. This approach means conversations are guided by what matters most to the client, with the therapist asking questions, reflecting concerns, and supporting the client's own goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress or low mood. In plain terms, it looks at patterns that get in the way and tries small, practical changes to improve sleep, anxiety, or mood. Motivational interviewing is used alongside these methods to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum one step at a time.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That means clients help choose what feels most useful and can shift strategies over time.
