About Carrie
LCSW in Indiana with 15 years of clinical experience, Carrie Kinder helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She works with adults who are trying to cope with life changes and persistent emotional struggles. Sessions focus on practical skills and concrete steps rather than abstract talk.
Carrie uses evidence-based methods including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused techniques. She helps people break problems into manageable pieces and build everyday coping tools. That can mean learning emotion-regulation skills, practicing mindful attention, or setting small behavior goals.
She often addresses issues connected to autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and struggles with impulsivity or isolation. Addiction concerns such as drug and alcohol dependence and related behaviors are also part of her work. Carrie also supports people dealing with fertility stress, hoarding, feelings of emptiness, guilt, and shame.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions tend to identify current problems, try specific strategies, and measure small changes over time. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events continue to affect daily functioning.
People who choose Carrie will find an emphasis on skills practice, clear goals, and collaborative planning. Her background and chosen approaches are aimed at helping clients get unstuck and manage symptoms more effectively in everyday life.

How these approaches translate to online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In short segments, DBT work often focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce reactive behaviors.Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and awareness through simple exercises. It helps reduce rumination and increase focus by practicing small, repeatable attention exercises that can be done between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what matters to a person and to strengthen motivation for change. It uses focused questions and collaborative planning to move from ambivalence to action, which can be useful for substance use and behavior change goals.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. The therapist and client review goals and try strategies together, adjusting approaches based on progress and preferences. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to the specific problem and the person’s day-to-day life.
