About Rachel

Rachel Richard is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who brings 27 years of clinical experience to her practice in Indiana. She emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental therapeutic stance that invites clients to explore difficult thoughts and feelings while working toward practical change.

Background and approach

Her background includes helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions, and she also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns as part of a broader focus on emotional health.

In session she blends evidence-informed approaches to meet a range of concerns such as grieving and life transitions, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and anger, and complex mood or behavioral patterns including bipolar disorder and ADHD. Rachel also works with issues related to caregiving, chronic illness, codependency, blended family dynamics, and substance-related problems.

Her aim is to collaborate with each person to build skills, clarify values, and support meaningful, sustainable shifts in daily life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Rachel often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into work with clients, a practice that focuses on clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where values-driven action matters.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques are woven in when relationship dynamics or attachment concerns are central, supporting clearer emotional expression and connection.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adapt methods over time. That process helps ensure that interventions fit the client's situation rather than relying on a single fixed method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which together offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow people to engage in therapy from their own environments, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while addressing practical barriers to in-person visits.
