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 strains, anger, grief, and changes at work or home. Rachel also supports clients dealing with trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, sleeping problems, and ADHD.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and reduce intense reactions. Conversations aim to translate insight into small, doable steps for daily life.
Rachel pays attention to how attachment and communication shape reactions. She helps clients who struggle with impulsivity, mood swings, or complex family problems to name patterns and try different responses. When trauma or past abuse is part of the picture, she works at a pace the client finds manageable.
Her work also covers substance use and recovery-related issues, including drug and alcohol addiction and relapse prevention planning. She includes coaching-style tools for career stress and practical planning alongside therapy when helpful.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Rachel draws on evidence-based methods to help people change specific thoughts and behaviors. People meet to identify a problem, pick one small change, and practice it between sessions to see what works.
How Rachel uses CBT online and what to expect
Rachel primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT helps people notice thought patterns that fuel anger and practice different reactions. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues, and anger management because it ties thoughts to behavior and gives concrete skills to test.Sessions can also focus on attachment and communication patterns. That work looks at how relationships shape reactions and teaches clearer ways to ask for needs and set boundaries. This helps when resentment or repeated conflicts are part of the problem.
Rachel treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works. The client and Rachel decide together which skills to practice between sessions.
