About Rachael

Rachael Cloud is a licensed mental health clinician (LMHC) based in Indiana who brings 12 years of experience supporting people managing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, trauma, and related concerns such as ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and self-esteem challenges.

Background and approach

She has worked with clients affected by a range of traumatic events and substance-related problems, and she draws on that practical background when helping people navigate recovery, loss, and emotional upheaval. Her manner is described as warm and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental tone.

Rachael blends evidence-informed tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness to create individualized plans. She tailors conversations and interventions to each person’s circumstances rather than relying on labels, aiming to build skills for emotional regulation, clearer thinking, and more effective communication.

Rachael frames therapy as a collaborative process that supports clients in taking concrete steps toward meaningful change. She encourages those ready to move forward to reach out and begin shaping a plan that fits their goals and daily life.

Evidence-Informed Therapies for Online Care

Rachael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR as part of her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or problematic coping, and it often includes practical homework and skill-building. EMDR uses structured bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall to help process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that the right method often emerges through conversation and trial. A therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and symptom patterns and then combine or adapt approaches so the plan fits the individual’s needs and pace.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, check in between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward therapeutic goals.
