About Rachel
Rachel Richard is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 27 years of clinical experience. She practices in Indiana and has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction. Rachel aims to make starting therapy feel achievable and straightforward for those who reach out.
She focuses on building a calm, open space where clients can say what they think and feel without fear of judgment. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Background and approach
Rachel listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them in day-to-day life. Her work draws on approaches that emphasize present-moment awareness and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. That means clients learn skills to notice thoughts, try different actions, and shift unhelpful patterns.
She also uses emotion-focused techniques when relationship and intimacy concerns come up. Rachel has long experience helping people manage life changes, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and problems tied to self-esteem or anger. She also supports those coping with caregiving stress, chronic health challenges, and substance use concerns.
Her background includes work across a broad range of mood, attention, and behavioral issues. People who choose Rachel can expect steady, practical support aimed at everyday change. She helps clients set clear goals and practices they can use between sessions.
The first step she asks for is simply completing a short matching questionnaire so scheduling can begin.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that fit those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with emotions that shape relationships and intimacy, and it can help when attachment or connection problems arise.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time if something does not feel like a good fit, and sessions combine skill practice, reflection, and real-world tasks.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule regular care and use techniques between sessions.
