About Rachel
Rachel Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, and issues common in early adulthood such as feeling behind, career uncertainty, and identity questions.
Rachel focuses on practical coping skills and clearer thinking. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make life harder. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with room to talk through feelings and try concrete tools between meetings.
Her caseload includes people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction and substance concerns, grief, sleep problems, anger, and parenting stress. She also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, mood disorders, and self-harm concerns. Young adult issues are listed among her areas of focus, so she is familiar with stresses around school, first jobs, relationships, and moving toward independence.
Rachel pays attention to multicultural concerns and the ways culture shapes stress and coping. She helps clients with compassion fatigue and supports people working through major life changes. The work often blends short-term skill building with longer conversations about patterns and values.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and set up an initial session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location. Sessions are offered in English and Rachel practices in Pennsylvania.
How CBT and clinical approach work online
CBT helps people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions using CBT focus on spotting patterns, testing small behavior changes, and trying short exercises between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep disruption.Rachel also uses practical problem-solving and skills coaching to address acute concerns like stress, anger, or early recovery from substance use. Those parts of the work concentrate on step-by-step plans, clearer communication techniques, and pacing change so it fits daily life.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That means trying methods, checking how they land, and shifting focus if something isn't helping.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available session types before booking so you know what will fit your schedule. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or school, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed.
