About Benjamin
LCSW in Illinois with 19 years of clinical experience, Dr. Benjamin Lough focuses on life changes, relationships, intimacy, career questions, and self-esteem. He uses existential therapy to help people examine meaning, choice, and responsibility in daily life.
Dr. Lough works with people who feel stuck, empty, or unsure about their direction. He listens, asks direct questions, and helps people slow down enough to notice what matters now. Sessions look at relationships, values, and the decisions that shape work and personal life.
He often helps people facing midlife shifts, career transitions, or struggles with shame and isolation. Conversations cover sexuality, intimacy-related concerns, and men’s issues when those come up. Coaching-style conversations about goals and next steps are included alongside deeper reflective work.
The approach emphasizes making choices that match a person’s values. Dr. Lough outlines options, highlights tensions, and supports people as they consider consequences and possibilities. This is practical reflection rather than step-by-step instructions.
He has worked in the field for nearly two decades and draws on existential-humanistic ideas in each session. People who come for help leave with clearer priorities and more confidence about immediate next steps.

Existential approaches and remote sessions
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, empty, or unsure about direction to clarify values and weigh possible paths. This work tends to be reflective and conversational, looking at relationships, commitments, and what feels authentic in everyday life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test how existential ideas fit their goals. Together they will adjust the pace and focus to match what the client wants to accomplish, whether that is short-term coaching or deeper reflection.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time that might otherwise block regular appointments. Licensed professionals can use remote work to maintain regular contact while tailoring session length and frequency to what suits daily life.
