About Rachel

Rachel Richard is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 27 years of experience. She practices in Indiana and offers straightforward, supportive care for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and sleep concerns. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental and aimed at helping people take small, manageable steps forward.

Rachel focuses on practical work that fits into everyday life. She helps clients talk through trauma, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and changes that come with aging or health problems. Sleeping and eating concerns are part of the issues she addresses when they affect daily functioning.

Her clinical work draws on a handful of well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally focused principles, and a client-centered stance. She adapts those ideas to what a person needs in the moment rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Rachel emphasizes collaboration. She creates a calm space where people can say what’s on their mind and try new ways of coping. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, practical strategies, and building skills to manage emotion, cravings, sleep disruption, or relationship patterns.

People who reach out will complete a short matching process to get started. From there Rachel works with each person to choose manageable steps and to adjust pace as progress or life demands change.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep struggles where unhelpful thinking gets in the way of rest and routine.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It offers concrete techniques for changing sleep habits, managing worry, and reducing depressive or anxious cycles.

Dialetical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for regulating intense emotion, handling urges, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can help when anger, cravings, or relationship conflict disrupt daily life and rest.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made or needs shift.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since those details are set by the practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, skip travel time, or keep appointments during transitions. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when that better fits a schedule or bandwidth. Discuss format options during the matching and scheduling steps to choose what will work best.
