About Rachel
Rachel Richard uses client-centered and action-focused approaches to guide people through stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She combines talk, practical tools, and mindful practices to help people address hard moments.

She draws on 27 years of professional experience and holds the LPCC credential. That background shapes how she listens and how she tailors methods to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions often mix skill-building, problem-solving, and emotional processing depending on the concern. Common areas she helps with include addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, and parenting strain. She also supports people facing bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep and eating problems, and career stress.
Rachel pays attention to the whole picture, including issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended-family challenges. Her practice uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered work.
In plain terms this means learning skills to manage thoughts and emotions, practicing new ways to relate, and identifying values to guide choices. She offers sessions in English from Indiana and holds licensure as KY LPCC and OH LPCC where noted. Rachel encourages small first steps and supports people through practical coping strategies as they work toward clearer goals.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on what matters and taking small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching clear skills to change them, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how people experience and respond to emotions in relationships, helping them name feelings and shift patterns that cause recurring conflict or disconnection.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Over time the work can move between skill practice, emotion-focused work, and values-based planning depending on each person's needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life and to use the formats that best support steady progress.
