About Benjamin
Benjamin Di Biase is a Washington LICSW with 11 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger. He also supports people facing grief, addiction, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar mood challenges, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Benjamin frames the client as the expert in their own story. He looks for strengths the person already has and uses those as starting points. Sessions are practical and focused on what a person wants to change or manage in daily life.
He uses methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy. That means work can range from identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, to processing painful memories, to reworking the story someone tells about themselves. Benjamin tailors those approaches to what each person finds most useful.
Conversations in sessions are straightforward. He listens to what’s happening now, notices patterns, and suggests small, doable steps to try between meetings. Homework or short exercises may be offered to test new ways of responding to anger and stress.
Benjamin’s style emphasizes collaboration. He helps people set clear goals and checks progress along the way. If someone wants to explore which approach fits best, he will talk through options and adjust the plan as work proceeds.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Benjamin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought and behavior patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. CBT sessions often focus on short, practical exercises and steps someone can try between meetings to test new responses.He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which is a method aimed at processing upsetting memories that can keep anger and distress active. When relevant, EMDR sessions work to reduce the emotional charge around those memories so they interfere less with daily life.
Narrative Therapy is another tool he uses to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and about their reactions. That can reduce shame or self-blame and open up different choices for responding when irritation or resentment builds.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as needed. The therapist guides experiments in session and reviews what helps most over time.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, phone sessions require less bandwidth and video sessions let the therapist notice body language; those practical differences can factor into what feels most useful.
