About Ranada

Ranada Dalton is a licensed mental health counselor who integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a compassionate, client-centered stance.

Background and approach

With 19 years of clinical experience and dual credentials as an LMHC and LPC, she draws on practical, evidence-informed techniques to address concerns such as relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and intimacy-related issues. Her background also includes work with grief, parenting and blended family challenges, career and life transition concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her counseling style is described as warm, empathetic, and interactive, emphasizing respect and sensitivity while tailoring treatment to each person’s needs. She combines CBT with elements from emotionally focused and narrative approaches, the Gottman Method, and motivational interviewing to craft individualized plans.

Ranada encourages a collaborative process that meets clients where they are and adapts methods when a particular theory does not fit. She accepts international clients and practices from Indiana, offering a range of formats to suit different schedules and preferences.

Practical approaches for online healing and connection

Ranada uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many life transition challenges. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is employed when relational or attachment issues are central, helping people and partners recognize and change interaction patterns that maintain distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques over time if something does not fit. This flexibility helps tailor care to the individual rather than applying a single model across every situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or those who live far from in-person services. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, ongoing care while making it easier to attend sessions during life transitions, workplace demands, or while traveling.
