About Rachel
Rachel Felton is a licensed independent clinical social worker, LICSW, practicing in Washington. Rachel brings 12 years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk through difficult issues. Rachel draws on existential ideas to help people name what matters most to them.
Conversations also use practical tools from acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address day-to-day struggles. Sessions focus on what a person values and the next small steps they can try.
Background and approach
Common concerns addressed include depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues related to LGBT identity. Rachel also helps with relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and challenges like abandonment or attachment concerns. Other focus areas include chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, and communication problems.
Rachel adapts the approach to each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Therapy can include skills practice, values work, and talking through past experiences that still cause pain. The goal is to build clearer choices and more manageable patterns of behavior.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to set goals and pick methods that fit their life and needs.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Existential Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that match their values; it is useful for questions about meaning, identity, and major life decisions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking small steps toward valued goals to improve daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating to others and helps people understand how early relationships affect current bonds and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss different methods and collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can combine values work, skills practice, and relationship-focused exploration based on what the person needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues during conversations, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules and allow flexibility in how people engage with the work.
