About Benjamin
Dr. Benjamin Wilson helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and major life changes. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of clinical experience and a focus on practical strategies that people can use right away.
He prefers a person-centered, strengths-based style. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. He blends evidence-based tools like cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to reduce symptoms and build skills.
Background and approach
Benjamin draws on both personal experience and long-term practice to inform his work. He has lived experience with co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns and has been in long-term recovery for over 20 years. That background shapes his commitment to straightforward, compassionate care.
Outside of clinical work he teaches in higher education and has held leadership roles in behavioral health. He enjoys reading non-fiction, gardening wildflowers, and playing guitar in his free time. He lives in Hamilton County, Indiana with his wife and two adult children.
In sessions he focuses on clear goals like reducing panic, managing mood swings, stopping harmful behavior patterns, improving communication, and coping with grief or loss. He works at a steady pace and helps people practice new skills between meetings.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. The therapist creates a collaborative space and follows the person's lead to set goals and pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.The therapist will work with clients to figure out which approach or combination fits best. That decision is a team effort based on your goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful. He adapts techniques over time and checks in to make sure the work stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video makes it easy to have a deeper, face-to-face style meeting. Phone sessions often fit a tighter schedule or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing out thoughts helps you process. These options let people use therapy around work, family, or other obligations while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
