Rachel Phelps, LPC

Rachel Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She practices in Pennsylvania and brings seven years of experience to conversations about life changes and coping skills.

She focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Sessions often cover sleep problems, managing anger, dealing with addiction, and building self-esteem. Rachel pays attention to how attachment and communication patterns affect relationships and parenting challenges.

Her work often includes trauma and post-traumatic stress concerns, domestic violence impacts, and recovery from substance use. She also supports people navigating young adult issues, multicultural stressors, and compassion fatigue. These areas are approached with straightforward tools and regular check-ins on progress.

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core method to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She pairs that with coaching-style conversations to set goals and practice skills between sessions. The aim is to find small, realistic changes that add up over time.

People can expect a collaborative, goal-focused style that balances practical strategies with empathy. Rachel helps clients build routines, refine communication, and develop coping plans that fit their day-to-day life. She works with each person to set clear steps and track what helps.

Her practice supports a broad range of mood and behavioral concerns including ADHD symptoms, disruptive mood patterns, self-harm ideation, and relapse prevention. Rachel seeks to meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable.

How Rachel Uses CBT and Online Options

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to practice different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and worry about relationships by breaking concerns into small, manageable steps.

She pairs CBT with coaching-style work to set clear goals and build skills people can use between sessions. That collaboration helps clients test new ways of reacting and track what works, so adjustments are made together based on goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility through several formats. Video calls are useful when visual cues and a longer conversation are helpful. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or take part in short therapeutic exchanges without scheduling a full session.

Rachel and other licensed professionals can help choose the mix of methods that fits each person’s routine and goals, balancing practical needs like time, attention, and how you prefer to communicate.
