About Rachel

Rachel Phelps is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and parenting challenges. Rachel also works with concerns such as sleep problems, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core approach. She focuses on practical strategies that change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In sessions she helps clients build coping skills and clearer communication habits.

Her background includes work with mood disorders, attachment issues, and impulsivity. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, substance use, and post-traumatic stress. Multicultural concerns and young adult issues are additional areas she addresses.

Rachel structures sessions around problem-solving and skill building. She and the client set goals, try specific techniques between sessions, and review what does or does not work. This approach aims to make therapy feel direct and useful for day-to-day life.

People describe her focus as collaborative and practical. She helps clients notice patterns, practice different responses, and track progress. The work tends to center on concrete steps rather than long theoretical discussion.

How CBT translates to remote sessions

CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors and trying new responses. In practice this means setting clear goals, working on short exercises in session, and using homework to test skills between meetings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress-related problems.

CBT also supports work on communication and coping skills for relationship and family concerns. Sessions often include role plays, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments to change patterns that cause distress.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist review progress and decide together which tools to keep using.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals use structured agendas and homework to keep remote sessions focused and practical.
