Benjamin Di Biase, LICSW

Benjamin Di Biase is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with 11 years of clinical experience. He works from a strengths-based perspective, helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, grief, parenting issues, anger, career transitions, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.

He approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can support change. That perspective guides his work with individuals and families as he helps identify practical strategies and new ways of understanding difficult patterns.

Benjamin uses evidence-informed methods tailored to each person's needs and goals, and he emphasizes collaboration in setting the pace and focus of treatment. Beginning therapy is often a courageous step, and he acknowledges and supports that courage while helping clients build tools to manage current challenges and move toward meaningful life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Benjamin Di Biase

Benjamin draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with relationships.

He also employs Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach that helps people process traumatic memories and their emotional impact so symptoms linked to past events can lessen over time. EMDR is often used for trauma and abuse-related responses.

Narrative Therapy is another tool he uses to help individuals reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives, separating people from problems and highlighting strengths and values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Benjamin works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options expand access to licensed professionals and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes.
