About Carla
Carla Rodgers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 20 years of practice. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and anger. She also supports those facing addiction and related challenges.
Her approach is straightforward. She treats people as experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now and to try small changes that can feel practical and doable.
Carla listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people name difficult feelings such as shame, guilt, or fear and then works on clearer ways to communicate. For some this means tackling obsessive and compulsive behaviors, for others it means managing mood changes or impulsivity.
When family history plays a role she helps people sort family of origin issues and how those past patterns affect current relationships. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns in ways that focus on present interactions rather than past blame.
Her work with substance use and domestic violence focuses on safety, boundaries, and practical planning. For parents she offers ways to handle disruptive behavior and intense emotions without escalating conflict. People should confirm current session options before booking.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Carla mentions using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can practice between sessions. One common approach helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so anxiety and compulsions are easier to manage. Another practical method targets communication and problem-solving skills to reduce conflict in relationships and family situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This means checking what feels helpful after a few sessions and adapting the plan together rather than sticking to a single method.
If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find online work lets them fit sessions into a busy week, take shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can guide which techniques translate well to remote sessions and help make practical plans that fit everyday life.
