    About Benjamin

    Benjamin Fendrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. He brings seven years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other life changes. He aims to meet clients where they are and build a working plan around each person's strengths and goals.

    Benjamin uses a trauma-informed perspective in his work and focuses on practical steps people can take day to day. He combines Motivational Interviewing with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to support change. Sessions center on what matters most to the client and move at a pace that feels manageable.

    He often helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to mood such as depression and bipolar disorder. Other areas he addresses include self-esteem, anger, sleep problems, social anxiety, and challenges connected to caregiving or life transitions.

    Benjamin aims for a warm, nonjudgmental tone in conversation. He avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on clear goals and steps. People can expect collaborative conversations that emphasize small, achievable changes.

    To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The approach emphasizes working together to set realistic goals and build skills that fit everyday life.

  2. How Benjamin’s Approaches Guide Online Work

    Benjamin blends Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and cognitive behavioral ideas. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person's own reasons for change and building motivation through respectful conversation. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, with the therapist offering listening and support rather than directives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful routines.

    Finding the right approach is part of the process. Benjamin will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning includes trying techniques and adjusting them based on how useful they feel.

    Because formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities. Ask about specific session formats when scheduling so arrangements match your routine and technology needs.
