About Benjamin
Dr. Benjamin Wilson is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 14 years of clinical experience based in Indiana. He helps people dealing with addictions, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and life changes. He also focuses on codependency and problems with communication and intimacy.
Ben works in a direct, person-centered way. He listens for what a person is trying to protect or avoid. Sessions include practical conversation, skill-building, and setting small goals to test changes between meetings. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational approaches when helpful.
He brings experience from clinical work, leadership roles, and teaching in higher education. He has worked in behavioral health since 2006 and has spent many years supporting people with co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. His personal long-term recovery from substance use informs how he approaches addiction and process behaviors.
In sessions he mixes shorter practical strategies with deeper conversations about meaning, responsibility, and values. Mindfulness and existential perspectives inform how he helps people name what matters and make different choices. Solution-focused moments aim to find what can change now.
Outside of work he reads nonfiction, tends a wildflower garden, and plays guitar. He lives in Hamilton County, Indiana with his wife and two adult children and continues to teach and consult in clinical education.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what the person brings to the room and puts the client's perspective at the center of decisions. It helps when someone needs a steady, listening presence to sort out their priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills to test different beliefs and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and some addictive patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and can support steps toward recovery or behavior change.Finding the right mix of methods is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person's goals and situation. That means trying practical skills in some sessions and shifting to meaning-focused discussion in others, based on what is most useful.
Please confirm the specific online session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join without travel time. They can also let a person use audio-only when bandwidth is limited or keep a session to a brief focused goal during a work break. Licensed professionals will work with clients to arrange the most workable session type for their life.
