Rachel Felton

Rachel Felton is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She brings 12 years of experience helping people with depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and self-esteem concerns. Rachel is attentive and respectful, and she adapts conversations to each person's needs.

Rachel uses practical, goal-focused methods in sessions. She draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot patterns that make life harder. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice values and take small steps toward change.

Her background includes supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse, and those coping with relationship stress and attachment wounds. She often helps clients who identify as LGBT work through identity-related concerns, communication problems, and codependency. She also addresses issues such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, body image, and commitment or control struggles.

Rachel aims to coach and mentor clients toward clearer choices and better daily coping. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to change. She works alongside clients to build skills for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and steadier routines.

If you are thinking about starting therapy, Rachel asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. That initial step helps match goals and shape a plan for moving forward.

How these approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It focuses on small, values-driven steps to reduce avoidance and build momentum. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current trust and closeness, and it helps people practice safer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will work together with each person to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins around work or caregiving. It also makes it simpler to do emotion skills practice between sessions and to keep momentum on behavior changes without rearranging an entire day. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to video or phone settings, focusing on practical tools and real-world experiments you can try between meetings.
