Jessica Benash, LCSW

Jessica Benash, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with more than 18 years of experience providing therapy in residential treatment, day treatment, and outpatient settings. In addition to clinical work, she serves as an adjunct professor teaching in a Social Work department, bringing an educator’s perspective to the therapy process.

Her experience spans a wide range of concerns, including depression, stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, and career-related stress. She also supports caregivers of people living with chronic pain or illness, individuals navigating grief after losing a loved one to suicide, and clients working through ADHD-related concerns. Jessica also has extensive experience helping people who have lived through physical trauma and/or emotional abuse.

Jessica’s counseling style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She integrates client-centered, solution-focused therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), working collaboratively to challenge unhelpful thought patterns while meeting clients where they are in the present moment. With an emphasis on each person’s strengths, she helps clients identify practical steps toward goals that feel meaningful and attainable.

Jessica believes it takes courage to pursue change and that a supportive therapist-client relationship can make the process feel more manageable. She is committed to offering steady support throughout the work of growth and transition.
