Rachel Richard

Rachel Richard is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 27 years of experience. She practices in Indiana and has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and anger. She invites straightforward conversations and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone taking that first step.

Rachel focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions tend to center on practical skills and clear goals so people leave with tools they can use between meetings. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and helps clients try alternative ways of coping.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. That experience informs how she blends different approaches to match a client’s needs rather than follow a single method. She often draws on mindfulness and acceptance strategies alongside practical behavioral skills.

Rachel also supports people working through issues like grief, intimacy concerns, body image, parenting stress, and career strain. She pays attention to how emotional responses affect day-to-day life and helps people practice responses that feel more effective.

Her style is collaborative and direct. Clients are invited to set goals, try new skills, and re-evaluate what’s helping. To begin, visitors select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

How Rachel's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so clients can take small steps toward a life they care about despite hard emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers specific tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Rachel will work with clients to identify which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts strategies based on how someone responds. The aim is collaboration: set goals, try skills, and check progress together.

Licensed professionals can offer consistent weekly work, skill-building, and real-time coaching on coping strategies through remote sessions, helping clients apply what they learn between meetings.
