About Benjamin

Benjamin (Ben) Keplar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who centers therapy on the needs and values of each person he meets.

Background and approach

He emphasizes respect, compassion, and active listening as the foundation for collaborative work, inviting clients to set the pace while he offers tools from evidence-informed approaches. Ben draws on five years of clinical practice to support people managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, and coping with life changes.

His style blends client-centered methods with structured interventions when helpful, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy. He also brings attention to specialized concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family dynamics, communication problems, impulsivity, and issues related to alternative sexual cultures.

Ben rejects shaming and negative labeling, instead working collaboratively to help clients move toward more satisfying and functional ways of living. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental, goal-oriented partnership that adapts to individual circumstances and priorities.

He offers a range of session formats and frames therapy as a step-by-step process tailored to each person’s goals and readiness to change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Ben integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices to address emotional and behavioral challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and listening so the client's goals guide the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding skills to reduce reactivity, improve emotion regulation, and support coping with stress and chronic conditions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Ben works together with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on progress and goals. He frames treatment as a team effort that evolves as clients gain insight and skills.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try new coping strategies between sessions, and receive support without geographic barriers. The variety of options helps clients choose how they want to engage while working toward measurable goals.
