About Ranada
Ranada Dalton is a licensed mental health counselor and life coach based in Indiana. She holds a BS in Psychology and a MA in Marriage and Family Therapy and brings 19 years of clinical experience to her work. Ranada uses a warm, interactive style that centers the person in the room.
She aims to treat people with respect and compassion while meeting them where they are. Ranada helps people with relationship struggles, anxiety and depression, parenting questions, grief, and anger.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing life transitions such as divorce, becoming new parents, or navigating blended family issues. Her practice includes work with trauma, intimacy concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and stress tied to caregiving or career change. Her approach mixes client-centered listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy.
She draws on emotionally-focused ideas and motivational interviewing to help people examine patterns and make changes. The Gottman Method and narrative therapy also inform her thinking when communication or family-of-origin themes come up. Sessions are interactive and tailored.
Ranada adjusts the pace and tools based on what a person needs and prefers. She focuses on clear goals, skill building, and improving day-to-day functioning. If someone is unsure where to begin, she guides them through a brief assessment and collaborates on a plan.
Ranada encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change over time.

Online approaches that fit your goals
Ranada combines client-centered listening with evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person without judgment and following their lead to set goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift patterns in connection and emotion, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ranada will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try methods that match needs and adjust the plan over time based on what is working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have a session much like an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching-style work, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and travel while keeping care consistent.
