Benjamin Strauel , LPC

Benjamin Strauel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 25 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and life transitions. He draws on a broad set of therapeutic methods while keeping the work grounded in a solution-focused, strength-based approach that emphasizes practical steps, empathy, and hope. As a clinician, he centers each person’s unique strengths and life story, working to rebuild confidence, clarify priorities, and restore meaning after setbacks such as divorce, career change, or loss.

Trained in multiple evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy, he tailors interventions to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. His background includes substantial experience supporting men through transitions, though he has worked with adults across the life span. He also offers focused support for chronic pain, disability, sleep issues, anger, self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.

Benjamin’s practice is informed by a solid Christian foundation and a core belief in the power of small, consistent changes to create lasting improvement. He aims to partner with people who want a practical, hopeful path forward and to help them create a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling. Licensed Professional Counselor means he holds a state license to provide mental health counseling.
