Jocelyn Benford
Welcoming to your healing spot! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Training Supervision designation (LPCC-S) in Ohio, with nine years of experience supporting individuals through life’s emotional challenges. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio. I work alongside individuals who are navigating stress, life transitions, and past trauma as they move toward healing and personal growth. Many clients describe therapy as a road trip—you remain in the driver’s seat, setting the pace and direction, while I serve as a supportive guide along the way.

Together, we navigate life’s challenges to promote healing of the mind, body, soul, and spirit in a safe, collaborative, and compassionate space.
First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
I provide client with a welcoming and non-judgmental space to ensure healing is a top goal. I also strive to provide a safe environment, as safety is top priority. I utilize a non-judgmental approach, while providing unconditional positive regard to support clients.
Ideal clients
I truly enjoy working with a diverse population of clients. My clients are motivated to heal, but are in need of support to begin the process. My clients are often aware of needing to make a change, but often feel anxious about starting the process. Once my client's have overcome initial anxiety, they are enthusiastic to participate and engage
