About Carla
Carla Rodgers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with over 20 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, family conflicts, and anger. Carla speaks English and focuses on practical steps families can take to feel steadier at home.
She treats addiction and related concerns alongside mood difficulties and compulsive patterns. Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, communication problems, and issues that arise after divorce or separation.
Background and approach
Carla has experience with conditions such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder. Carla emphasizes that clients know their own stories and brings a respectful, nonjudgmental stance to each session. She aims to build an open space where feelings and thoughts can be named and worked through.
Sessions explore what is getting in the way and what small changes might make family life calmer. Her approach is evidence-based and practical. Over two decades of work have shaped a style that balances direct problem-solving with attention to relationships and underlying patterns.
She supports people managing guilt, shame, impulsivity, and substance-related concerns. For those considering online work, Carla offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to pair people with her practice and format that fits their needs.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Carla uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and repair relationships. One commonly used method focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with clearer communication and small behavioral changes; this helps when conflicts and parenting stress feel overwhelming. Another approach targets mood and compulsive behaviors by teaching skills to notice triggers, slow down reactions, and practice alternative responses; this can be useful for anxiety, obsessive behaviors, and anger.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Carla works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities before recommending techniques. Together they try methods and adjust them so the work fits the family’s needs and timing.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work and family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings. Many people find the flexibility helpful when juggling appointments, caregiving, and other obligations, while still getting consistent support from a licensed professional.
