About Carla
Carla Rodgers is an Indiana LMHC with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family strain, parenting challenges, and difficulties managing anger.
She helps people talk through what’s happening and spot patterns that make things worse. Sessions focus on practical steps for handling strong feelings, improving communication, and reducing tension at home and work. Carla treats addiction-related concerns and family-of-origin issues as part of the bigger picture she and a client will address together.
Carla approaches each session with plain language and steady problem-solving. She sees the person as the expert on their own story and draws on the client’s strengths. Conversations aim to identify triggers, build small behavioral changes, and rehearse different ways of responding to anger and stress.
Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and compulsive behaviors when these affect relationships or mood. She also addresses issues such as impulsivity, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and the fallout from divorce or separation.
Carla encourages gradual progress rather than quick fixes. She helps clients develop tools they can use between sessions, like clearer communication techniques, emotion regulation steps, and practical coping strategies for parenting and family conflict.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on emotion regulation and communication. One common approach helps people learn step-by-step ways to notice and name strong feelings, pause, and choose a different response. This can reduce impulsive reactions and make anger easier to manage in day-to-day life.Another approach targets relationship patterns and communication problems. It breaks down common arguments into teachable skills like turning complaints into requests, setting boundaries, and practising calmer responses. These skills aim to change interaction cycles that often escalate anger and resentment.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Carla works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and circumstances. She adjusts methods over time based on what is working and what needs refinement.
