About Rachel
Rachel Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and work-related pressures. Rachel also supports those coping with trauma, addictions, mood problems, ADHD, and career transitions.
Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear strategies to manage intense feelings and reduce unhelpful patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thinking habits that feed anger or anxiety and then test small changes in how they respond.
Rachel pays attention to how attachment and communication habits affect daily life. She talks through patterns that show up with partners, coworkers, and family members and helps clients practice different responses. She also addresses sleep problems, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue as they relate to overall emotional regulation.
People meet Rachel to learn tools for reacting differently to frustrating situations, to rebuild self-esteem after setbacks, or to reduce substance use that’s linked to mood and anger. She combines skill teaching with straightforward reflection so the work is concrete and measurable.
Her background includes focused work with young adults and multicultural concerns. Rachel aims to work collaboratively on goals, tracking small changes over time and adjusting methods as needed.
How sessions work
CBT-based approaches for online work
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anger, anxiety, and low mood. CBT sessions often include skill practice, behavior experiments, and short homework tasks to try new responses to frustrating situations.She also draws attention to attachment and communication patterns, helping people recognize how their usual ways of relating can escalate conflict. That work focuses on concrete exercises and role practice to build different interaction habits.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means methods may shift over time as skills and needs change.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how appointments are delivered. Many people find online work lets them practice skills in the context of everyday life and brings therapy into regular routines without needing extra commuting.
