About Benjamin
Benjamin Fendrich is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. He draws on seven years of practice to help people manage stress, anger, addiction, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. He favors a straightforward, person-focused style.
Sessions begin where the client is. Conversations center on practical steps and realistic goals rather than labels. Benjamin aims to reduce barriers that keep people from getting help.
Benjamin often uses client-centered methods to build rapport and understand each person’s priorities.
Background and approach
He pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to shift habits or reduce substance use. His background includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, workplace issues, and concerns common to young adults.
He also helps people address self-esteem, impulsivity, isolation, and issues related to intimacy and communication. Sessions can be scheduled in formats that fit a client’s life, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Benjamin works collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals and checks progress as therapy moves forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Benjamin uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and goals. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a shared plan so sessions feel relevant and respectful.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find small, practical changes that make daily life easier. CBT can help with anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns by teaching skills to notice patterns and try different responses.
Motivational interviewing is another tool he uses when someone is weighing change. It helps people clarify their own reasons for making shifts, build motivation, and set manageable steps toward goals like reducing substance use or improving routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. He adjusts methods over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone meetings can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, and pacing communication across a busy day. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum while working on concrete skills and goals.
