About Rachel
Rachel Richard is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 27 years of experience and practices in Indiana. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and life transitions.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice what is happening in their thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often focus on practical skills from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also draws on emotionally-focused and client-centered ways of working when exploring relationship patterns or attachment concerns.
Rachel helps clients name patterns like people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or falling into caretaking roles that leave them depleted. She talks through boundary-setting, communication strategies, and coping tools for strong emotions. When addictions or mood issues are present, she helps clients plan concrete steps and relapse prevention strategies.
Her work includes attention to identity and life-stage issues, including LGBT concerns, parenting strains, caregiver stress, aging, and blended family dynamics. She also addresses body image, eating and food-related difficulties, and chronic illness or pain where these affect daily life.
For someone taking a first step, sessions are described as a place to share what’s happening and practice new responses. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online booking process.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction for daily choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, then practicing different responses. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating difficulties where small behavior changes can make a difference. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive behaviors. It can help with strong anger, mood instability, and when addictive behaviors feel overwhelming. Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That discussion helps shape what a typical session will include and which skills to prioritize. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week, using shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoiding travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Therapists can guide skill practice between sessions so changes carry into day-to-day life.Areas of focus
