About Rachael
Rachael Cloud is a Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LMHC) based in Indiana who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She also supports individuals facing addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Rachael writes in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to make therapy feel approachable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on practical skills and honest conversation rather than labels.
Background and approach
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help with mood and daily coping. Rachael also draws on acceptance-based ideas and techniques that address painful memories and emotional regulation. Over a 12-year career she has worked with people affected by trauma, substance use, bipolar disorder, and social anxiety.
That background gives her experience with a range of problems and recovery pathways. She meets people where they are and adapts plans to what each person needs in the moment. In sessions she teaches skills for managing strong feelings and improving communication.
She helps people set small goals they can actually try between meetings. Rachael pays attention to what is working and shifts methods when needed. Her work blends short-term strategies and deeper processing when trauma or past loss is involved.
She encourages steady progress and honest feedback. If someone wants a practitioner who balances practical tools with compassionate listening, Rachael offers that combination.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Rachael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that worsen anxiety or low mood. CBT often focuses on step-by-step practices to reduce avoidance and build healthier routines.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT is well suited to people who want to live more in line with their priorities while managing persistent symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Rachael works with each person to select and adjust methods based on their goals, needs, and how they respond in sessions. She combines skill teaching with deeper processing when trauma or loss is part of the picture.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video works well for full sessions that include visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to work on skills and progress without long commutes or rigid office hours.
