About Rachael
Rachael Cloud is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood concerns, and parenting challenges. She combines practical therapy tools with an approachable, down-to-earth style. Her work is warm and interactive and aims to reduce shame and blame while building useful skills.
Rachael draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and build committed action.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are part of her toolkit for emotion regulation and coping skills. EMDR is included in her practice for people processing traumatic memories, and mindfulness exercises are woven into sessions to support attention and calm. Sessions focus on short-term goals and skills people can use between meetings.
Rachael adapts her approach to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She brings over 12 years of experience working in mental health and addictions settings. That background includes helping people facing grief, relationship and intimacy struggles, eating concerns, bipolar mood swings, and ADHD-related challenges.
Rachael also addresses communication problems, social anxiety, and issues common in young adulthood. People who choose Rachael can expect collaborative planning, clear skills practice, and steady focus on what matters most to them. She supports parents working through parenting stress and related concerns while keeping sessions straightforward and goal oriented.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rachael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thought patterns and take meaningful action. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking. ACT helps people clarify personal values and build small committed steps toward those values.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers concrete tools such as distress tolerance and grounding skills that people can practice between sessions. Together these approaches offer both short-term coping tools and longer-term behavior change work, and Rachael will work collaboratively to find the best mix for each person’s goals and needs.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging lets someone keep a running dialogue and check progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules and to continue steady momentum toward change.
