About Carrie
Carrie Kinder is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Indiana with 15 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction, and people carrying guilt and shame.

Carrie uses concrete tools in sessions so people can notice small changes. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to slow down intense feelings.

She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family challenges, fertility concerns, and feelings of emptiness.
Trauma-informed methods guide how she approaches painful memories and reactions. That can include solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and build momentum. She aims to help people notice what is working, and to try manageable shifts that fit daily life.
Carrie practices in Indiana and offers services in English. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often shortened to DBT, focuses on concrete skills - emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools help when guilt, shame, or strong emotions feel overwhelming and when people need clear steps to react differently.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. It helps people notice harsh self-talk and interrupt unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to clarify what matters to a person and to build small, achievable goals when motivation feels low.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That decision is made together and can change as progress unfolds.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, let someone join from a quieter place, or allow short check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt DBT skills and mindfulness exercises to work across formats so the focus stays on usable strategies rather than on a particular session style.
