Benjamin Fendrich , LCSW

Benjamin Fendrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin with seven years of experience supporting individuals and families through relationship challenges, mental health concerns, and issues related to addiction. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, parenting difficulties, grief, addiction, and general life stress, tailoring his approach to the needs of each person he meets.

His therapeutic manner is warm, compassionate, and engaging, focusing on each client’s strengths and goals rather than on stigmatizing labels. He aims to meet clients where they are, helping them navigate both obstacles and successes with practical strategies and collaborative planning.

Benjamin integrates motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and client-centered therapy to address behavior change, thought patterns, and the factors that matter most to clients. Conversations center on the topics that are most relevant to the client, and he partners with individuals to set and work toward achievable goals.

Recognizing that reaching out for help can be difficult, he offers supportive guidance to those ready to begin change and to explore more fulfilling, balanced ways of living.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Benjamin Fendrich

Benjamin often uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship to help clients clarify goals and feel heard. This approach supports work on relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.

He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress management. Additionally, Benjamin uses motivational interviewing to support clients who are ambivalent about change - it helps explore motivation and strengthens commitment to goals around recovery, habit change, or other behavioral shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Benjamin collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access care from their home or workplace. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care, while working with licensed professionals who tailor their approach to each person’s priorities.
