Rachel Phelps

Rachel Phelps is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and related struggles. She works with clients who are coping with relationship strain, grief, addiction, sleep problems, and life changes. Rachel aims to make therapy practical and clear so people can use what they learn right away.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and reactions. Sessions tend to identify unhelpful patterns, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of responding to triggers. The approach is direct and goal-oriented while staying empathic and steady.

Rachel has seven years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. That experience includes helping people with trauma, mood disorders, impulsivity, and attachment concerns. She also supports those facing multicultural challenges and young adult issues.

In the room she balances structure with listening. People can expect to set clear goals, try evidence-based exercises, and review what worked between sessions. Rachel describes her work as collaborative coaching and counseling aimed at building resilience.

To begin, she asks clients to clarify immediate concerns and longer-term goals. Over time the focus can shift from symptom relief to skills for managing relationships, work stress, parenting demands, and rebuilding self-worth.

How CBT translates to online work

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that fuel anger and anxiety, then practice different responses. CBT breaks problems into concrete steps so clients can test small changes between sessions and see what helps.

That same practical focus guides online sessions: the therapist and client review specific situations, try new coping strategies, and set short homework tasks to practice during the week. This collaborative approach means the therapist helps choose which techniques fit a person's goals and daily life rather than prescribing one path.

Before booking, confirm which session formats are available with the provider. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during breaks at work or between errands. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and exercises to match the client's routine so therapy is easier to keep up with.
