About Benjamin

Dr. Benjamin Lasky brings a client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approach to his work as a licensed psychologist, blending practical skills with a focus on each person's unique perspective.

Background and approach

He emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify strengths and build strategies that address mood, anxiety, addiction, ADHD, and relationship concerns. His work aims to support clear problem solving while honoring individual values and experiences.

Dr. Lasky holds licenses in California (CA Psychologist PSY19363) and Nevada (NV Psychologist PY0726) and has three years of professional experience.

He often integrates solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals and track progress, while using client-centered methods to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. His background includes attention to co-occurring issues such as substance use and mood disorders, and he addresses a broad range of concerns including trauma, grief, intimacy, and career-related stress.

Clients can expect an approach that balances practical interventions with empathy and occasional lightness when appropriate. Dr.

Lasky conducts sessions in English and offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Online Approaches That Combine Empathy and Skill

Dr. Lasky uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide his online work in ways that are direct and approachable. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping clients discover their own solutions, making it useful for emotional concerns, identity questions, and relational stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical skills for identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and substance use patterns.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, evaluate what feels helpful, and adapt techniques over time so the plan matches individual needs and preferences rather than following a fixed formula.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, try brief check-ins between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals who tailor the work to each client.
