About Arlene

Arlene Kuntzman is an experienced licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and ADHD. With over three decades in practice, she draws on a long history of clinical work to guide clients through difficult emotions and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes practical strategies and compassionate support to address symptoms like panic, mood disturbances, and post-traumatic stress while also attending to issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and communication problems. She cultivates an open therapeutic atmosphere where clients are encouraged to express thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Arlene uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping skills. Her approach combines skills training with empathetic listening, aiming to empower individuals to pursue a more fulfilling life and take concrete steps toward change.

Based in Indiana, she offers experienced guidance for those ready to work toward improved emotional well-being.

CBT-based care and online access

Arlene integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and low mood. CBT offers practical tools such as behavioral experiments and cognitive restructuring to help clients cope with stressors and build more adaptive responses.

Her work emphasizes collaborative planning, where the therapist and client decide together which approaches fit the person's needs and goals. This exploratory process allows for adjustments over time so methods align with individual preferences, life circumstances, and the progress seen in sessions.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides greater scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or elsewhere in Indiana. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and receive support in a format that matches daily routines and comfort levels.
