About Rachel
Rachel Richard is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - licensed in Kentucky and Ohio and practicing in Indiana. She has 27 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes. She also works with addiction and relationship concerns and supports clients facing grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
She uses clear, direct conversation to help people name and understand difficult emotions. Sessions focus on noticing patterns in feelings and actions, and on small steps that make daily life more manageable. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches to look at emotional reactions and how they affect relationships and choices.
Rachel also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy when those methods fit a person’s goals. Those approaches provide tools for handling stress, building coping skills, and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She can suggest exercises and practical techniques between sessions.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice across several states. The emphasis in her work is on steady progress and practical coping, not quick fixes. People often come for help with sleep, eating concerns, parenting strain, career stress, or complex mood issues such as bipolar or ADHD-related challenges.
Sessions are offered in English. To begin, people choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the patterns they create in relationships and daily life. It helps when strong feelings are hard to describe or when reactions repeat in ways that cause strain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking concrete action aligned with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to reduce symptoms and change habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That often means mixing techniques from different approaches and adjusting them as progress is made.
