Benjamin Holland , LCMHC

Benjamin Holland is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah. He brings seven years of professional experience helping people face stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. Benjamin writes and speaks plainly, and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can be honest about what’s on their mind.

He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions often center on identifying unhelpful patterns, building coping skills, and setting manageable goals. He also addresses life transitions, workplace stress, and issues that show up around sexuality and personal identity.

Benjamin pays attention to how attachment patterns and past hurts shape current choices. He works with people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and the fallout of past trauma such as panic or post-traumatic stress. He also supports those navigating questions of life purpose, midlife change, forgiveness, and men's or women's issues.

In conversation he favors direct, clear recommendations and collaborative planning. Clients can expect to talk through specific concerns and leave with concrete steps to practice between sessions. Benjamin aims to balance empathy with practical problem solving so progress feels achievable.

He offers sessions in English and is available to international clients. Appointment formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to choose what fits their routine best.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Benjamin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One common approach emphasizes skills training and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks, and improve mood by teaching breathing, grounding, and activity-planning techniques. A second approach looks at attachment patterns and how early relationships shape trust and relationship behavior; this helps people who struggle with intimacy, trust, or repeating unhelpful patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about current goals, what has helped or not helped in the past, and preferences for short-term tasks versus deeper exploration. Together they choose techniques and tailor them to the client's needs over time.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, brief momentum between formal sessions, and ways to practice skills in everyday settings.
