About Carla
Carla Rodgers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with more than 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and related issues such as codependency, attachment worries, and addiction. Her work is offered in English and reflects long clinical practice in these areas.
Carla encourages people to name what feels difficult and to build on strengths they already have. In sessions she listens for patterns - for example people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self in relationships - and helps clients notice how those patterns show up in daily life. Conversations focus on practical steps a person can try between sessions as well as ways to talk about painful feelings without shame.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people work through family conflicts, parenting strain, and the fallout from separation or addiction. Anger management and mood concerns are addressed with concrete tools and skills to manage reactions in the moment and reflect afterward.
Carla has also supported people dealing with obsessive thoughts, impulsivity, and the long shadows of family of origin problems. She frames progress as small, measurable changes rather than quick fixes, and checks in regularly about what is or isn’t helping.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches and online work come together
Carla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address relationship patterns and emotional reactivity. One common approach she draws on helps people identify and change unhelpful interaction habits - for example people-pleasing or rigid avoidance - by noticing triggers and trying small behavior changes to test new ways of relating. This can help with communication struggles, codependency patterns, and everyday conflict.She also works with practical emotion regulation strategies that teach skills for handling anger, anxiety, and strong mood shifts. These skills focus on short-term grounding and longer-term routines that reduce impulsive reactions and improve how someone recovers after an upsetting event. They are aimed at building repeated small wins rather than instant fixes.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and will adjust techniques as the work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which approaches fit best for the issue at hand.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. Many people find that remote sessions let them keep therapy consistent with a busy life while they work on relationship patterns and emotional skills.
