About Rachel
Rachel Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and challenges at work or home. Rachel strives to make therapy straightforward and useful for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
She uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions move at a practical pace and often include simple exercises to try between meetings.
How Rachel works
The intent is to build coping skills that help with sleep, anger, and impulsive reactions. Rachel brings seven years of clinical experience across a range of concerns. That experience includes supporting people after trauma, addressing attachment and communication problems, and helping with mood disorders and substance use.
She pays attention to cultural background and the particular pressures it can add. Her work emphasizes collaboration. Clients and Rachel set concrete goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed.
She also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and life transitions. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so sessions can fit into busy schedules. Rachel speaks English and holds LPC credentials in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
To start, a person completes a short questionnaire and then schedules based on availability.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Rachel primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and offers practical exercises for issues like anxiety, depression, insomnia, and compulsive patterns.The process of choosing the right approach is collaborative. Rachel reviews a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and adjusts strategies over time. Together they try techniques, check what helps, and refine the plan so it fits the person’s life and priorities.
Online formats offer flexibility that suits different needs. Video calls let the therapist and client have a face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days and to use written tools or reminders between sessions.
These options make ongoing work possible for people with tight schedules, travel, or varying energy levels. Licensed professionals can deliver CBT-based skill building through each format, adapting exercises so they are practical and actionable in everyday life.
