About Arlene
Arlene Kuntzman helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and ADHD. She brings a calm, patient presence to sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions and overwhelming days. Arlene holds a Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential in Indiana and has decades of experience in clinical settings.
Her approach is straightforward and hands-on. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, to help people make small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Sessions include talking through situations, practicing new skills, and setting doable goals between meetings. Arlene aims to make the therapy room feel welcoming and nonjudgmental. She encourages people to speak openly about hard memories and current worries.
The focus is on building practical coping skills and restoring a sense of control in daily life. She has worked in the field for many years and draws on that experience to tailor plans to each person’s needs. Expect clear explanations, gentle challenges, and concrete steps to try at home.
The pace is set by the client and guided by what helps most. Arlene provides sessions in English and practices in Indiana. She supports people as they move through grief, recover from trauma, learn to manage panic and mood symptoms, and improve communication in their relationships.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a hands-on approach that looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood. It uses short exercises, thought tracking, and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and ease depressive patterns. This method helps people practice new responses to old habits between sessions.Online sessions make it straightforward to try those exercises in daily life. Phone and video calls allow for full conversations and skill coaching in real time, while live chat and text-based messaging make quick check-ins and brief coaching possible. These options help people fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or busy days without extra travel.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try strategies like CBT, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. Together they decide what to focus on and which formats support ongoing practice.
Practical benefits of online therapy include flexibility in scheduling, easier access when travel is difficult, and a range of contact styles for different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging tools support short check-ins and reminders between appointments.
