Evidence-based tools, faith-informed care, and online flexibility
Benjamin Wrase draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and habits that feel hard to change. Mindfulness Therapy helps clients build awareness of thoughts, emotions, and body cues in the moment, supporting steadier responses to overwhelm, guilt and shame, and emotional reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that strengthens personal motivation and follow-through, often helpful when working on addiction and other behavior changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Benjamin works with clients to clarify what they want from therapy and to choose strategies that fit their needs, goals, values, and preferences, including a Christian-centered perspective when that is meaningful to the client.
Online therapy adds practical flexibility, making it easier to get support in the ways that work best day to day. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, with additional options like live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between appointments and keep progress moving.
