Welcome!

Yes, it is a Phalaenopsis orchid. You are overwatering - it should be watered only when you can't feel any moisture in the bark. It should be planted in chunky bark, not soil. Place it so the plant receives bright light but no direct sun. If the window is bright enough to make succulents happy, it is way too much light for a Phalaenopsis. Your temperatures should be fine.

The orchid forum does have care instructions at the top of their page. The "stickeys" at the top of the page will be very helpful to you.

PS: Ignore what Stefan says about orchid care. He grows cactus, not orchids. Hilarious!
