About Carol
Dr. Carol Carter is an Indiana psychologist with 25 years of experience. She lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among her approaches and helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and bipolar and depressive symptoms.
She has worked across clinical settings in Indiana and has degrees from Indiana University and Purdue University. Much of her recent work has been with veterans. Her practice focuses on practical ways to reduce symptoms and manage day-to-day challenges.
In sessions she uses clear, structured methods to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to build new ways of responding to problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her work when past events need direct attention.
She often helps people break problems into small steps. That can mean setting brief experiments, practicing different reactions, or tracking patterns between thinking and feeling. She aims for a collaborative style where goals and steps are agreed on together.
Dr. Carter works with a broad range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including addictions, grief, parenting strain, career issues, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also notes additional focus areas such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, first responder and veteran issues, and intellectual disability.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in Indiana. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Carter uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior and then try small experiments to change those patterns. CBT tools often include tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new skills between sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build actions that match those values even when strong emotions are present. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when a focused review of past events and their effects is needed to reduce ongoing distress.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is reviewed. This makes sessions a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.
The site notes session options during sign-up, so confirm the current online session formats before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so sessions fit into a weekday break or evening. Discuss practical needs during the first appointment to pick session lengths and rhythms that fit everyday life.
