About Benjamin

Dr. Benjamin Wilson helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, mood disorders, and struggles around self-esteem and purpose.

He writes plainly and focuses on practical next steps people can use between sessions. Benjamin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of clinical experience. He draws on his own long-term recovery to inform his approach and to relate to people managing co-occurring substance use and mental health challenges.

Background and approach

He combines direct clinical work with teaching and committee roles in the addictions and counseling fields. In sessions he centers the person in front of him and pays attention to real-life patterns. Conversations often include problem solving, goal-setting, and skill-building.

He uses a mix of client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and systemic thinking to look at how relationships and environments affect behavior. Ben aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. He encourages people to try small experiments between meetings and to notice what changes.

He also brings mindfulness and existential ideas into the room when it helps clients face meaning, values, and choices. He lives in Indiana and balances clinical work with teaching and community involvement in addiction care. Outside work he enjoys reading nonfiction, tending a wildflower garden, and playing guitar with his family nearby.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. Sessions start with listening and validation, then move to what the client wants to change or understand. This approach helps with motivation, confidence, and emotional support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work often uses short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive habits. These tools can be practiced between sessions and reviewed in follow-up meetings.

Systemic thinking looks at how relationships and environments shape behavior. Even in one-on-one online sessions, the therapist and client examine patterns that involve partners, family members, work, or social groups to find practical adjustments.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and pace. That may mean starting with support and motivation, adding CBT skills, or bringing systemic questions into harder conversations.

Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when logging thoughts between sessions. These options help make consistent care easier to maintain.
