About Rachel
Rachel Felton is a Washington-licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with 12 years of experience working with issues such as LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, and relationship difficulties. Rachel uses practical therapeutic approaches to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. She speaks English and practices in Washington.
In sessions Rachel focuses on clear, step-by-step work. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are used to help regulate strong emotions and manage distress. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and feelings of abandonment.
Rachel adapts conversations to what each person brings. Sessions can include setting small goals, practicing coping skills, and reviewing what worked between meetings. She also addresses related areas like body image, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress when they affect daily life.
Her experience includes working with people who identify as LGBT and those coping with co-occurring challenges such as chronic illness, addiction, or mood disorders. Rachel aims to be straightforward and collaborative when planning next steps.

How Rachel’s approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It’s often used when worry or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and building coping techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will review goals, symptoms, and preferences together and recommend methods that fit the person’s needs. That plan can change over time based on what helps most, so sessions remain collaborative and flexible.
