About Rachel

Rachel Felton is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. Rachel brings 12 years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on helping people navigate depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and issues related to LGBT identity. Rachel aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people to begin difficult conversations.

Rachel works in a straightforward, collaborative way. She builds a plan together with each person and adapts the conversation to fit their needs. Practical skill-building and goal setting are central to sessions. Rachel uses clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory.

Their approach draws from cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior ideas to help with mood regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns, and day-to-day coping skills. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship history or closeness issues come up. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools are added when values and meaningful action are the focus.

Rachel also supports people facing addiction, low self-esteem, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and relationship problems. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, body image, codependency, and alternative sexual culture concerns. Sessions are tailored to the specific mix of concerns each person brings.

Rachel encourages small, steady changes and practices that fit into everyday life. The aim is to help people feel more in control of their mood and relationships, and to build skills that hold up over time.

This summary is based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp.

How Rachel's approaches translate to online work

Rachel blends cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-focused methods into straightforward online sessions. CBT helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits to reduce low mood and worry. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them, which can be useful when depression drains motivation. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationship patterns shape current feelings and help people try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will work with each person to test methods and decide what feels most useful. That collaboration means adjusting tools and pacing to match goals and day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It can also let someone meet with a licensed professional from their own community when in-person visits are difficult. Rachel aims to help people translate therapeutic skills into their everyday routines, whether sessions are remote or in person.
