About Rachel
Rachel Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues such as low self-esteem, addictions, and grief. Rachel also helps with sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career transitions, depression, and challenges tied to ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her style is practical and structured. Rachel uses clear, goal-focused conversations to notice patterns in thinking and behavior. She introduces small experiments clients can try between sessions. The emphasis is on skills that are useful day to day rather than abstract theory.
Rachel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change reactions that keep problems going. She pairs that with problem-solving and coping strategies for mood and stress regulation. Sessions often include concrete tools for communication and managing impulsivity.
Her background covers working with mood disorders, attachment concerns, communication problems, and substance use issues. She also has experience with post-traumatic stress, domestic violence, and self-harm concerns. Rachel mentions an interest in multicultural issues and supporting young adults.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that identifies clear goals, tracks progress, and adjusts methods when needed. She asks about the practical barriers people face and helps set manageable steps. The focus stays on what people can try now to get better control of daily life.
How Rachel uses CBT and structured approaches online
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT work typically involves identifying specific thought patterns, practicing new behaviors, and tracking results between sessions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also focuses on practical coping and problem-solving skills for mood regulation and impulsivity. That can include simple routines for sleep, short behavioral experiments, and stepwise plans for handling difficult conversations or cravings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. She checks progress and adjusts methods when something is not working rather than sticking to a single plan.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If video is difficult, some people prefer audio-only meetings to reduce bandwidth or to have a quieter experience. The aim is to make sessions practical and manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
