About Benjamin
Benjamin Fendrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. He offers straightforward, practical support for stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. He uses clear, respectful language and focuses on what matters most to each person.
Benjamin draws on seven years of clinical experience to help people manage life changes and everyday pressures. He brings a trauma-aware perspective developed during work and continuing education in the region.
Background and approach
That outlook shapes how he listens and responds to difficult experiences such as grief, abuse, or compassion fatigue. In sessions he emphasizes collaboration and motivation. He helps people clarify short-term goals and build small, workable steps toward them.
Techniques from cognitive behavioral methods are used to spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of thinking and acting. Benjamin also uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s strengths and values at the center. Conversations focus on what the client brings and what they want to achieve, whether that is better sleep, improved boundaries, or managing impulses and cravings.
He works with a broad range of concerns including parenting stress, workplace difficulties, LGBTQ issues, mood disorders, and relationship strain. People who are navigating pregnancy and childbirth, caregiving burdens, or questions about life purpose can find practical help and steady support.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s values and strengths and creates space for their priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a compassionate listener and practical support to sort out what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood-related concerns.
Motivational Interviewing concentrates on uncovering personal reasons for change and boosting commitment. It is commonly used when someone is ambivalent about changing habits such as substance use or lifestyle shifts.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, situation, and preferences. That collaborative process may blend techniques or shift focus as needs change.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit care into busy days and different routines while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
