About Benjamin
Benjamin 'Ben' Galloso is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 14 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, and identity concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk openly about what matters to them. Ben uses a client-centered style that stays focused on each person’s goals.
Sessions often include straightforward talk therapy to notice thought patterns, feelings, and the body’s responses.
Background and approach
He may suggest brief hypnotherapy when it seems helpful and both therapist and client agree. His work covers a wide range of concerns, including depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, and challenges around sexual identity and alternative sex cultures. He also supports people facing addictions, codependency, body image struggles, and questions about life purpose.
Ben combines practical methods like cognitive-behavioral ideas with emotionally-focused approaches to help people see patterns and try new ways of relating. He also draws on existential ideas when clients want to talk about meaning, values, or spiritual questions. Clients who want flexible online options can connect by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule an appointment.

Online support
How Ben’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Ben blends client-centered therapy with cognitive-behavioral and emotionally-focused work to meet practical and emotional needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes following the client’s lead and building a respectful connection, which helps people feel heard and make choices about their next steps. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address addictive patterns. Emotionally-focused therapy looks at emotional responses and relationship patterns to improve connection and manage conflict or intimacy concerns.Ben treats the choice of approach as collaborative. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust as needed. That process helps select the right mix of talk work, practical skills, and occasional light hypnotherapy when both agree it could add value.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to keep consistent momentum toward goals.
