Rachel Felton , LICSW

Rachel Felton is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people move forward. Rachel brings 12 years of experience and works from a respectful, compassionate stance. She focuses on women's issues among other concerns and strives to create a predictable, steady space for conversation.

Rachel commonly helps people dealing with depression, bipolar mood challenges, addictions, and trauma or abuse. She also supports those wrestling with self-esteem, relationship trouble, and LGBT related concerns. Additional focus areas include attachment struggles, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and concerns connected to kink or alternative sex culture.

In sessions Rachel draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based ideas, and a client-centered way of talking. That mix lets her offer concrete tools for mood and behavior alongside time to make sense of difficult experiences.

Clients can expect straightforward, practical steps and a focus on what they want to change. Rachel adapts the pace and tools to each person's needs. Her aim is to help people build routines, cope with strong feelings, and improve how they relate to themselves and others.

Rachel is licensed in Washington as a LICSW and conducts work in English. She provides sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to small actions that match their values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating to themselves and others. That approach is often helpful for people with attachment worries, abandonment concerns, or relationship patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which tools to try first. The process is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let you see facial cues and have a fuller conversation when schedules or travel are a challenge. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing contact between sessions and can help people keep progress on track. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic methods described above while fitting sessions into busy lives.
