About Rachel
Rachel Felton, LICSW, is licensed in Washington and has 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people on LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, and relationship issues. She uses conversational, practical therapy approaches and adapts sessions to each person's needs.
Felton draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. She focuses on helping people notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and change behaviors that cause distress. Sessions emphasize clear steps and skills people can practice between meetings.
Her work includes attention to abandonment and attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication and control problems, and stress related to caregiving. She also addresses concerns tied to autism spectrum presentations, avoidant and dependent personality features, and nontraditional sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. Chronic pain, illness, disability, and co-morbid conditions are also within her stated focus areas.
Felton frames therapeutic work as collaborative. She listens, reflects concerns back, and helps people set concrete goals. Therapy may include behavioral coaching, emotion regulation skills, and work to improve relationship patterns.
Sessions are offered in English. Felton does not take international clients. The clinician notes that subscription-based sessions are used and that the subscription can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small actions toward them while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Practically, online work can make sessions easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or meetings without travel. The focus remains on learning skills, changing behavior, and addressing attachment patterns in ways that fit everyday life.03
