Dr. Benjamin Ogles is a licensed psychologist in Utah (UT Psychologist 8203644-2501) with 35 years of professional experience. He balances a career as a full-time professor training doctoral students, teaching undergraduate courses, and conducting research on psychotherapy with a limited clinical practice.
Because his primary responsibilities are academic and research-focused, Dr. Ogles offers counseling only a few hours each week. Within that availability he has supported people coping with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and other life changes, and he also addresses motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression.
In sessions he fosters an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and he collaborates with clients to set realistic, achievable goals. He recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and looks forward to working together with individuals when they are ready to take those steps.
Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and adjusting to life changes, remote therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most individuals.
One major benefit is flexibility - people can choose the format that fits their lives best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to engage in the way that feels most comfortable.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch providers if they need a different fit. For many, online therapy offers an accessible, practical way to begin or continue mental health work.
