About Benjamin

Benjamin 'Ben' Galloso is a licensed social worker who brings 14 years of clinical experience to his practice in Florida. He uses a down-to-earth, person-centered style and speaks both English and Spanish. Ben aims to help people feel heard and to move forward when life feels stuck.

Background and approach

He also supports people facing identity and intimacy questions, career strain, and issues around body image and shame. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, noticing patterns, and learning clearer ways to respond. Ben uses talking therapy alongside occasional light hypnotherapy when it seems helpful and both agree to try it.

He also draws on approaches that target how people think and interact, so work can be both reflective and action-oriented. Ben has experience with addiction recovery methods such as SMART Recovery and knows 12-Step programs. He has formal theological study across many traditions and respects diverse spiritual paths as possible sources of meaning and strength.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Ben combines Jungian therapy and Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral ideas to address both meaning and everyday functioning. Jungian therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and life narratives to help people find deeper meaning and clarity. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are so they can speak openly and decide their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and habits that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, life context, and preferences and then tailor a mix of methods that feels right. That plan can shift as needs change so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging supports short updates or reflective homework. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep work moving between sessions.
