About Rachel
Rachel Richard is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 27 years of experience. She practices in Indiana and brings a calm, straightforward approach to common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. She welcomes questions and encourages people to take the first step toward help when they're ready.
Rachel usually starts by listening to what matters most to each person. She creates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named.
Background and approach
From there she helps set small, practical goals that feel doable day to day. Her work often addresses life transitions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and coping with chronic health issues. She also supports people dealing with sleep or eating problems, low self-esteem, anger, and career stress.
ADHD is listed among her focus areas and she includes strategies relevant to attention and organization challenges. Therapy sessions commonly draw on a mix of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. That mix helps people build clearer routines, manage upsetting thoughts, and practice new behaviors between sessions.
Rachel aims to make therapy practical and approachable. She helps people break big problems into smaller steps and stays focused on what a person wants to change. The overall goal is clearer coping skills and greater day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches that adapt well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep issues, and some addiction-related behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about goals and preferences and may combine methods to meet specific needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether exercises, skill practice, or emotion-focused conversations are the best fit for the moment.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and expressions matter. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, fit therapy into work breaks, and keep steady progress even when life gets busy.
