About Benjamin

Benjamin Zeiger is a Florida Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with LGBT matters, relationship strain, family conflict, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Benjamin also supports people facing guilt and shame, issues around sexuality and gender, and questions about life purpose.

He keeps sessions straightforward and conversation-focused. He listens to what matters most and helps people name the thoughts and feelings that feel stuck. Sessions aim to clarify values and next steps rather than rely on jargon or long lectures.

Benjamin uses several psychotherapy styles to guide his work. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting swept away by them. He uses client-centered approaches to follow the person’s priorities and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves.

People often come with struggles around kink, polyamory, gender dysphoria, or process addictions like pornography or gambling. He will talk through how those concerns show up in daily life and what small changes might reduce shame and self-criticism. Benjamin also addresses communication problems and forgiveness when those issues are part of relationship distress.

Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Florida. The practice uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online options button.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without acting on them. It focuses on values and small, committed steps that point toward a life a person wants to live. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals by using reflective listening and open questions to prioritize what matters now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Benjamin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the focus as goals become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow a quieter check-in or a camera-free session when needed. Licensed professionals usually adapt ACT and client-centered methods well to remote sessions, using discussion, guided exercises, and values-based planning to address guilt, shame, relationship concerns, and related issues.
