About Rachel

Rachel Richard is an LPCC with 27 years of clinical experience who draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate difficult life challenges.

Background and approach

She practices in Indiana and has worked extensively with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions, guiding clients toward practical coping strategies and clearer thinking patterns.

Her background also includes support for issues like relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and a range of additional family and life stressors. Rachel emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can express thoughts and feelings honestly.

She integrates client-centered principles to honor each person’s perspective, and uses tools from ACT, DBT, and emotionally focused methods as appropriate to help people build skills, increase awareness, and improve emotional regulation. Prospective clients should know she is licensed as an LPCC and sees people via multiple session formats, with options that accommodate varying schedules and needs.

Taking a first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Rachel meets that step by collaborating with clients to set clear goals and practical plans for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in noticing thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, tolerances, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as needs evolve. That collaborative stance helps shape a treatment plan grounded in the client’s priorities rather than a single predetermined method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for those with busy schedules or limited local access. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, try different communication styles, and fit therapeutic work into daily life while keeping continuity of care across changing circumstances.
