About Rachel
Rachel Phelps is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on common parenting and family concerns like stress, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and relationship tensions. Rachel helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, substance use, or trouble managing emotions.
She talks through practical steps and goals so parents can try new strategies between sessions. Rachel uses clear, evidence-based methods to address day-to-day problems.
Background and approach
She often applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and test small changes. Sessions aim to break large problems into manageable steps and teach skills that can be practiced at home. Her work also covers attachment issues, communication problems, and mood disorders.
She has experience with trauma and post-traumatic stress and supports people facing domestic violence concerns and substance use. Rachel pays attention to multicultural concerns and young adult issues when they come up in therapy. Rachel is licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and holds the LPC credential.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused; she listens first, then suggests straightforward tools to try. English is the language used for sessions and she provides care through a range of online formats. Parents reading this should expect a practical, steady style.
Rachel aims to help people build routines, manage emotions, and improve communication. Progress is usually about small, consistent steps rather than quick fixes.
Online therapy approaches and practical options
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test practical changes. CBT breaks problems into small parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and teaches skill-based steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage low mood.The work is collaborative: Rachel and the client set goals together and pick methods that fit the person’s life. She helps clients try tools, notice what works, and adapt the plan over time rather than expecting a single method to fix everything.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule work around family life, work, or daytime obligations and let people choose the format that feels most comfortable. For many clients, online care provides consistent access to a licensed professional and a way to practice new skills without extra travel.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
