About Scott

Scott Kaminsky is an Indiana-licensed marriage and family therapist with 26 years of clinical experience who has supported people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression.

Background and approach

He brings a strengths-oriented attitude, inviting clients to recognize their own expertise in their life stories while offering guidance and tools to navigate change and healing. Scott emphasizes that taking the step to seek help reflects courage and the desire for a more fulfilling life, and he positions his role as one of support and empowerment.

His practice focuses on helping clients address communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. Scott uses established therapeutic methods to tailor interventions to each person’s needs and goals, and he works collaboratively to build practical strategies and emotional insight.

He accepts clients who prefer services across state lines and conducts sessions in English.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it often uses practical exercises and structured steps to build new coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early patterns of relating shape current emotions and relationships, helping people understand and reorganize their responses to closeness, trust, and conflict. Both approaches can be applied to relationship strains, trauma responses, and persistent stress, offering complementary pathways of change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences, and life context to determine which methods or combination of methods fit best, adjusting the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with this practitioner is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to schedule care around work and family commitments and to maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are impractical, while still allowing therapists and clients to work together on skills, processing, and relationship patterns.
