About Rachel

Rachel Phelps is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical tools for coping with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, and career or parenting challenges. Her work also addresses relationship and family dynamics, communication and attachment issues, and multicultural concerns.

Drawing on seven years of clinical experience, Rachel uses evidence-based strategies to build resilience and strengthen self-understanding. She centers treatment on collaborative skill-building and tailored interventions that help clients change unhelpful thought patterns, improve emotional regulation, and develop healthier coping habits.

Clients can expect a compassionate, direct style that balances empathy with problem-solving and coaching. Rachel aims to create a therapeutic partnership in which individuals explore patterns, gain insight, and practice concrete techniques to support lasting change.

Her practice supports people facing mood disorders, impulsivity, substance use challenges, post-traumatic stress, self-harm behaviors, and young adult issues, always attending to each person’s unique cultural and life context.

CBT-Informed Care and Flexible Online Options

Rachel primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive responses. CBT emphasizes practical exercises and homework that can build coping skills for sleep problems, stress, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation.

Her work also incorporates coaching elements that focus on concrete skill development, goal-setting, and problem-solving to support career concerns, parenting challenges, and daily functioning. These methods aim to translate insight into actionable routines and strategies that clients can use between sessions.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their specific needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will review what is working, adjust methods as needed, and select tools that fit the client’s life and priorities.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking flexibility. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction when that is preferred, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when shorter check-ins are more helpful. These options can improve access to consistent support and make integrating therapeutic practices into daily life more convenient.
