About Carrie
Carrie Kinder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions. Carrie helps people facing life changes who need clear, practical strategies rather than theory-heavy sessions.
Carrie uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to help people stabilize and move forward. She focuses on skills that reduce overwhelming emotion and on steps that address substance use and other compulsive behaviors. Sessions include concrete tools for handling day-to-day pressure at work and at home.
She pays attention to issues that come up in family life without running family therapy sessions. That includes blended family stress, caregiver strain, communication problems, and the practical fallout of infertility or relationship commitment doubts. She also supports clients who feel isolated or who struggle with purposelessness.
Carrie draws on trauma-focused work when past abuse or shocks are part of the picture. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to help people notice patterns and find motivation for change. Those methods are applied in step-by-step ways, not as abstract concepts.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions typically involve learning a small number of skills, trying them between visits, and checking what worked. People who want clear plans and short-term tools often find this approach useful.
BHow sessions work
How Carrie Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Carrie commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. DBT focuses on concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help when anxiety or intense mood swings interfere with daily life. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and awareness exercises so people can notice reactivity and make different choices.Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. Carrie will work with a client to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on what is helping and what feels doable in everyday life.
