Benjamin Strauel, LPC

Benjamin Strauel brings over 25 years of clinical experience to his work as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). He draws on a wide range of evidence-informed methods - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered approaches, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy - to tailor treatment to each person's needs and goals.

Benjamin focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career transitions, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, and anger. He also works with people coping with chronic pain, illness or disability, loneliness and isolation, life-purpose questions, financial stress, and midlife or transitional challenges. He has particular experience supporting men navigating divorce, career shifts, and identity or purpose issues.

His style centers on identifying strengths and practical next steps. Benjamin emphasizes a solution-focused, strength-based approach rooted in empathy and a hopeful outlook, helping clients take small, consistent actions that can shift patterns over time. He frames hope and meaning as important resources in both practical and spiritual dimensions of healing.

Clients can expect collaborative work that starts with clarifying what is getting in the way and then building a realistic path forward. As an LPC - a licensed counselor trained to assess and treat a range of mental health and life concerns - he aims to help people regain clarity, rebuild confidence, and pursue a more purposeful life.
