About Ranada
Ranada Dalton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Indiana with 19 years of experience. She works with people who bring relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, parenting challenges, grief, LGBT issues, ADHD, and other life transitions. Sessions also address intimacy, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her work combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas. She uses practical conversation and goal-oriented steps to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Sessions are interactive and often include direct feedback and small behavioral experiments to test changes outside sessions.
Ranada also uses methods from the Gottman Method, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches when they fit a person's goals. She pays attention to communication patterns, family of origin themes, and blended family dynamics when those issues emerge. She helps people work through commitment and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence aftermath, and caregiver stress.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy. She integrates life coaching skills with counseling to focus on practical steps toward clearer decisions and daily routines. Sessions focus on observable changes in thought, behavior, and interaction patterns.

How Ranada applies therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Ranada draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought that lead to stress or unhelpful behavior. CBT sessions often include clear steps, short behavioral experiments, and follow-up tasks to practice between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can explore their goals and values at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used for work on attachment and closeness, helping people notice emotional responses and how those responses shape interactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ranada will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then suggest a plan that combines methods when useful. This is a collaborative decision made with the client.
