About Rachel
Rachel Ehrhardt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of clinical experience. She lists relationship, family, parenting, intimacy, and related concerns among her areas of focus, along with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem and depression.
Rachel describes herself as both a therapist and an educator. She emphasizes working on thoughts and how those thoughts shape feelings and behavior. Much of her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and correct thinking patterns that keep problems going.
She also uses solution-focused approaches when people want direct, practical steps. Those sessions tend to move quickly toward specific strategies and actions. Rachel aims to help people identify small changes that reduce suffering and improve daily life.
Her background includes long experience in substance use treatment and correctional settings, plus work across inpatient, outpatient, psychiatric, vocational, and residential programs. That history shapes a direct, straightforward style and a focus on real-world coping skills.
Rachel works with individuals and with couples. She does not work with children or teenagers. She notes additional interests in communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, postpartum and pregnancy concerns, men's and women's issues, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are conducted in English and Rachel does not accept international clients. Her practice uses a subscription-based payment model that can be canceled at any time; cost varies by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Approaches you may use together online
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-oriented methods in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that keep people stuck, then building clearer thinking and practical habits to change feelings and behavior. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and parenting-related stress.She also draws on elements of the Gottman Method and Imago-informed ideas for relationship work, which focus on improving communication, repairing hurt, and developing shared routines that reduce conflict. Those approaches are practical and skill-based, useful for intimacy and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. Rachel will help clients choose which methods make the most sense based on their goals, needs, and preferences. The work is collaborative and may combine techniques over time as goals become clearer.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, use shorter sessions when needed, and focus on skill practice between meetings.
