Getting to know Benjamin Fendrich
Hi, my name is Ben Fendrich, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota. Many of the individuals I help are high functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed and caught in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, or burnout. Whether you’re facing stress at work, relationship challenges, or just a sense that something isn’t quite right, therapy with me provides a space to slow things down and make sense of your experiences.
My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I utilize core therapeutic techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. In the early stages of our work together, we will identify the patterns that keep you stuck and begin to build tools that you can use in your daily life. I aim to serve as a sounding board, helping you gain greater clarity without judgment or pressure.
Outside of work, I enjoy a laid-back, family-oriented lifestyle. I have two daughters who keep me on my toes and have taught me what truly matters in life. I also like to stay active; working out and playing soccer are significant outlets for me and help clear my mind.
My goal is simple: to help you feel more in control of your thoughts, more confident in your decisions, and less weighed down by what has been holding you back. If you’re ready for more clarity and a way forward, I would be glad to help.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
-Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
