About Benjamin
Dr. Benjamin Wilson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and problems with intimacy or relationships. He also supports those coping with stress, low self-esteem, mood instability, and major life changes.
His approach is practical and direct, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable. He draws on 14 years of clinical experience to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
How Benjamin works
Dr. Wilson uses clear, structured techniques alongside open listening. He blends client-centered talk with cognitive behavioral exercises and mindfulness practices to address unhelpful thinking and strong emotions.
He also brings elements of existential conversation to help people find meaning and direction. Motivational interviewing is used when people want to change habits like drug or alcohol use or process addictions. Sessions emphasize small, achievable steps and honest conversation about where someone is now and where they want to be.
Dr. Wilson’s work is informed by personal lived experience with co-occurring substance use and mental health challenges, and by many years in behavioral health settings. He balances clinical insight with straightforward guidance and a focus on real-world coping skills.
Outside of practice he teaches in higher education and enjoys reading nonfiction, gardening wildflowers, and playing guitar. He lives in Hamilton County, Indiana with his wife and two children who are young adults.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist aims to create a supportive environment where the person sets goals and the conversation shapes the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to change how someone thinks, feels, and acts, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer typed communication. These options help people fit counseling into busy lives and different daily routines.
