About Benjamin
Benjamin 'Ben' Galloso is a licensed clinician who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, and related life concerns. He is a LICSW and LCSW practicing in Florida and brings 14 years of experience to his work. Ben speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk through difficult issues.
Ben uses a client-centered approach that keeps each conversation grounded in what matters to the person in front of him. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thinking patterns and emotionally-focused methods to address core relationship and attachment concerns. When appropriate and agreed upon, he may include light hypnotherapy as a supplemental tool.
His work often addresses depression, trauma, grief, and identity concerns, and he also supports people dealing with addictions, codependency, and intimacy-related difficulties. Ben pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and bodily signals interact and to the patterns people use to cope now versus what worked in the past.
Ben combines practical recovery tools with exploration of underlying causes of avoidance and compulsive behavior. He is familiar with SMART Recovery approaches and conversant with 12-Step programs, and he adapts his interventions to each person’s needs. He also brings formal theological study into conversations about meaning and spirituality when clients want that included.
Sessions are tailored to the individual and the goals they bring. Ben describes himself as present and heart-centered, aiming to help people move forward on their life path while treating them with sensitivity and respect.
How Ben’s approaches work in online therapy
Ben often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and emotionally-focused methods. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client’s pace, listens closely, and shapes sessions around what the person wants to talk about. Cognitive behavioral ideas help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them and reduce symptoms. Emotionally-focused methods focus on feelings and attachment patterns, helping people notice interaction cycles that affect relationships and intimacy.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how each method might help. Together they’ll test approaches and adjust the work based on what actually helps the client make progress.
Because session logistics were not specified in the biography, confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, whether that means shorter check-ins during a break or fewer travel demands. It can also allow regular rhythm for recovery work, consistent follow-up after crises, and access to therapists who speak English or Spanish. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, thought experiments, and emotion-focused tasks to work over distance, helping clients practice new ways of coping between sessions.
