01About Rachel
Rachel Phelps is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, grief, addictions, trauma, and parenting challenges. Rachel focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more capable day to day.
She uses clear, evidence-based methods to address mood problems, impulsivity, and sleep difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, in particular, guides much of her work by linking thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to attachment issues and communication patterns that affect relationships. Rachel brings seven years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania and New Jersey to her practice. That experience includes helping people with substance use concerns, disruptive mood dysregulation, and post-traumatic stress.
She often supports young adults and people working through multicultural stressors. In sessions she aims for straightforward conversations and concrete strategies. Clients can expect to set short-term goals, try skills between visits, and track progress together.
The focus is on small changes that build into lasting improvements. Her style is collaborative and direct while remaining compassionate. Rachel helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new responses, and strengthen coping tools.
The work is paced to each person’s needs and goals.

04Online support
How CBT and online sessions fit together
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on approach that helps people notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and practice different ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing strong emotions. It breaks problems into small steps and focuses on skills people can use right away.In online work she applies the same practical focus, using short exercises, thought records, and behavior plans adapted for remote formats. The process of finding the best approach is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which strategies to try based on goals, daily demands, and what feels doable. Plans are adjusted as the work progresses so methods fit each person’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is a concern. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
