About Rachel
Rachel Richard is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - practicing with 27 years of experience and based in Indiana. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, and anger. She also works with issues around parenting, grief, intimacy, and sleep and eating concerns.
Rachel uses straightforward conversation to help people name what they are facing. She focuses on what is happening now and on practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions typically explore thoughts, behaviors, and feelings so clients can make choices that align with their values and goals.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of problems. That experience shapes an approach that mixes techniques - from noticing and accepting difficult emotions to practicing new skills for handling distress. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that fit each person’s situation.
People often come to her when anger shows up as snapping at loved ones, building resentment, or work-related frustration. Rachel helps people spot triggers, practice different responses, and build coping strategies that reduce reactivity over time.
Her aim is to be direct and practical in sessions. She invites people to talk through specific problems and to try small experiments between meetings. Getting started means completing the matching steps and scheduling an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How Rachel applies ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Rachel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anger that keeps recurring because it focuses on what matters rather than trying to push feelings away.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new behavioral responses. CBT is practical for anger at work, snapping in relationships, or when routines and reactions need to change. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to explain their experience and for the therapist to listen and reflect without directing the process too quickly.
Rachel treats the choice of approach as collaborative. She will discuss which strategies seem to fit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. Together they decide whether to focus on skill practice, values work, or emotion-focused exploration.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when time is tight. Therapists and licensed professionals often use a mix of structured skill practice and open conversation that can work well in remote sessions.
