About Rachel
Rachel Ehrhardt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She brings a direct, practical style to sessions and focuses on helping people untangle stressful thoughts and find workable changes. Rachel prioritizes clear communication and skill teaching so clients can act differently in daily life.
Across a long career in varied settings Rachel has worked in prisons, inpatient and outpatient programs, psychiatric wards, schools, and residential programs.
Background and approach
Much of her work has involved substance use treatment and helping people rebuild after major losses. Those experiences shaped a frank, results-oriented approach and a respect for people at difficult turning points. Rachel emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test distorted thoughts.
She also uses Existential ideas to look at meaning and life direction, and practical tools from relationship-focused approaches when intimacy or parenting are involved. Sessions often include teaching skills, homework, and clear steps to try between meetings. She works one-on-one and with couples.
Rachel does not take cases involving children or teenagers. She is based in Pennsylvania and conducts work in English. Clients who choose Rachel are usually ready to make changes and want straightforward guidance.
She helps people address anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, grief, parenting stress, anger, and issues around life purpose. The goal is to reduce suffering by changing unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors. Getting started involves a short matching process and scheduling a session.
Rachel frames therapy as both teaching and collaborative problem-solving so clients can leave sessions with practical steps to use right away.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Rachel integrates Existential Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address both meaning and everyday thinking. Existential Therapy looks at questions of life purpose, values, and responsibility, helping people clarify what matters when they face transitions or midlife concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying inaccurate or unhelpful thoughts, testing those ideas against evidence, and trying new thinking and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.She also draws on the Gottman Method when couples need structured communication work and practical tools for improving conflict and connection. These approaches are used collaboratively; the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. The process is about trying approaches, measuring whether they help, and adjusting as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use facial cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or the client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief strategies into a busy day. These options give flexibility so therapy can match a client’s schedule and communication style.
