About Rachel
Rachel Phelps, LPC helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or the challenges of everyday life. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, substance use concerns, attention differences such as ADHD, sleep difficulties, and career or parenting pressures. Rachel keeps sessions straightforward and practical.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Conversations focus on small, doable changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Her practice emphasizes clear goals and steady skill-building. People often work on coping tools for mood swings, managing impulses, or improving communication with others. Rachel helps clients break problems into manageable steps and track progress over time.
With seven years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, she draws from cases involving trauma, attachment concerns, and multicultural issues. Rachel aims to make therapy feel like a guided, practical process rather than a list of labels. Her approach is collaborative and respectful.
She listens, offers techniques based on what someone needs, and adjusts plans as goals change. The emphasis is on usable skills that fit into a person’s real life. People who choose Rachel typically want a direct, skills-focused path toward feeling more in control.
Sessions are a mix of talking, practicing new responses, and planning next steps that support everyday functioning.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Rachel’s main approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, and impulsive reactions. CBT focuses on concrete skills such as relaxation techniques, structured problem solving, and behavior experiments that you can practice between sessions.Therapy should fit the person as much as the issue. Rachel works with each client to choose techniques and a pace that match their goals and comfort. Decisions about methods and homework are made together so the plan evolves as needs change.
Online formats make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins or focused skill practice, and text-based messaging supports short updates and reminders. These options offer flexibility for different days and goals, and they let people use the same CBT tools whether they’re talking over video, phone, or chat.
