Benjamin Strauel is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan (MI LPC 6401007163) with more than 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate periods of difficulty and transition. He offers steady support to those dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, anger, sleep problems, and other life changes while also providing coaching when clients seek practical next steps.

Trained in a wide range of counseling methods, Benjamin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. He keeps the focus on real-world progress rather than therapy jargon, emphasizing practical change and steady movement toward a more meaningful life.

Although he has worked with people of all ages and genders, Benjamin has experienced notable success assisting men as they move through transitions such as divorce, career shifts, and personal setbacks while looking to rediscover purpose. He recognizes that many men feel pressure to handle challenges alone and offers a supportive space to rebuild confidence, regain clarity, and explore new meaning.

Benjamin uses a solution-focused, strength-based approach rooted in empathy and hope, and his solid Christian foundation informs his belief that hope plays a central role in healing across both physical and spiritual realms. He encourages small, consistent steps and believes people have the capacity to make better choices. He invites clients to take the first step toward change and is willing to walk alongside them as they work toward a better future.
