Rachel Phelps is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the day-to-day weight of life changes. She practices in Pennsylvania and draws on seven years of clinical experience to guide practical steps forward. Her sessions focus on clear goals and coping skills.
She uses straightforward conversation and hands-on exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage strong emotions like anger or grief. Rachel often helps people untangle relationship and family concerns.
Background and approach
She supports those dealing with trauma, substance use issues, and struggles with self-esteem. Young adult issues and multicultural concerns are also part of her practice. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions to change unhelpful patterns.
Typical work includes small behavior experiments, thought tracking, and skills for emotional regulation. Rachel describes therapy as a team effort. She aims to teach tools that can be used between sessions and to adapt strategies to each person's life.
Her style is direct, compassionate, and focused on practical change.
CBT and practical online therapy options
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. CBT involves tracking thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and daily routines. Adjustments are made over time so the plan fits what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access. Video calls allow full face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier on bandwidth and simpler to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing skill coaching, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family responsibilities.
