About Benjamin

Dr. Benjamin Wilson helps people facing addiction, mood struggles, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports those coping with life changes, codependency, communication problems, and issues like impulsivity or isolation.

Benjamin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of clinical experience and a long personal history in recovery. He uses a direct but compassionate approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

He combines practical strategies with careful listening so clients can try new behaviors between meetings. Existential ideas guide parts of his work, helping people explore meaning, choice, and purpose when life feels empty or stuck. He also uses client-centered methods that place the client’s perspective at the center of care.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools for mood, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors. Benjamin draws on many years in clinical settings and in higher education. That background shapes how he explains challenges and teaches skills.

He is open about his own recovery experience and uses that perspective when it is helpful to the person in front of him. Sessions are aimed at realistic goals. Some people want short-term changes, others need deeper work over time.

The focus is on practical steps, clearer thinking, and rebuilding daily routines that support longer-term wellbeing.

Online support

How his approaches translate to online care

Existential Therapy helps people name what matters to them and face difficult choices. It’s useful for clients who feel emptiness, loss of purpose, or big life transitions and want to think through meaning and responsibility. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, which helps people feel heard and better able to explore sensitive topics like addiction or relationship harm. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives straightforward tools for anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. It breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can practice specific skills between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That plan can change as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching and shorter check-ins throughout the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
