About Carol
Dr. Carol Carter is an Indiana psychologist with a Ph.D. and 25 years of professional experience. She practices in Indiana and offers help for common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, addiction, relationship and parenting strain, grief, and career stress.
She has worked in a mix of settings across the state and has recent experience with veteran populations. That work has involved supporting people through trauma, bipolar disorder, and persistent depression. Her caseload has included caregiver stress, first responder issues, and people coping with major life changes.
In sessions she uses methods grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are a central concern. She focuses on practical steps clients can try between appointments, such as small behavior changes and values-based goals.
Her style is collaborative. She helps people define clear goals and then picks approaches that make sense for those goals. She pays attention to attachment concerns, control issues, and problems that come up during transitions like divorce or midlife shifts.
Adults who are juggling parenting duties, caregiving roles, or high-stress jobs will find a focus on coping skills and problem-solving. Sessions also address feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and low self-esteem. Dr. Carter works in English and does not take international clients.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter. It can help with chronic stress, anxiety, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches skills to shift unhelpful cycles. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood problems. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past events and building coping strategies when trauma symptoms interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and symptoms and recommend methods that fit those needs. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Confirm current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is hard to arrange. It also lets people use methods like behavioral experiments and homework tasks in their everyday settings, which can speed learning and make skills easier to use between sessions.
