About Rachael
Rachael Cloud is a licensed mental health clinician (LMHC) in Indiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. She brings 12 years of counseling experience and works with people feeling depressed, overwhelmed, or stuck. Rachael aims to offer straightforward care that gets to the heart of everyday struggles.
Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than labels.
How Rachael works
Rachael listens closely, helps people sort priorities, and builds plans that fit real life. Rachael uses several evidence-based methods to guide work in session. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and goals.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used to manage strong emotions and build steady routines. For people with a history of trauma, she can incorporate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to reduce the intensity of painful memories. Treatment is tailored to each person’s situation, with a clear focus on skills people can use between sessions.
Rachael aims to help people improve communication, cope with grief, address eating or intimacy concerns, and find better balance in parenting and life. Her approach centers on collaboration, practical tools, and steady support as people move toward lasting changes.

Online support options
How Rachael’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. Online sessions can focus on simple exercises and short experiments that fit into daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes; homework and real-world practice are easy to assign and review in a video or messaging session. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and improve relationships. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachael will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust methods so sessions feel useful and relevant. That collaborative process helps tailor treatment to each person’s needs and preferences. Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, school, or caregiving. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing coach-style contact between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistency and practice skills where they matter most.Start online instead of waiting
