Carla Rodgers, LMHC

Carla Rodgers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with more than 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, family problems, anger, and addiction-related concerns. She believes clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, strengths-based approach to sessions.

Her work focuses on clear conversation about thoughts and everyday habits that shape feelings and behavior. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult moments and notice patterns that keep problems repeating. The clinician aims to help people spot small changes that can lead to better daily functioning.

Carla commonly addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, codependency, and the emotional effects of divorce or separation. She also supports people managing mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, impulsivity, and substance use concerns. Her background includes work with families of origin and domestic violence related difficulties.

In session she works collaboratively, asking questions and offering observations that help clients test new ways of thinking and behaving. She encourages practical experiments between sessions so progress can show up in real life. Her tone is direct but compassionate, focused on tangible steps rather than abstract theory.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the site's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches map to online work

Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and everyday habits and on changing behaviors that maintain distress. One common approach is cognitive-style work that helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts; this can reduce anxiety and improve decision making. Another is behavioral experimentation where clients try small, practical changes between sessions to test what works and build new routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily life, and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. If something does not fit, she and the client adjust the plan together so it better matches needs and progress.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know how appointments are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel and allowing sessions during workday breaks or evenings. It can also let people shape sessions to match their energy level - for example shorter check-ins when needed - so therapeutic work can be practical and consistent alongside everyday responsibilities.
