About Rachel

Rachel Felton, LICSW, focuses on attachment-based work that looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Rachel brings 12 years of clinical experience and centers sessions on clear, practical support for everyday struggles. The approach is straightforward and person-focused, with an emphasis on listening and building trust.

Rachel helps people address trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and issues related to self-esteem and identity. Sessions often include skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to manage mood, reduce distressing patterns, and improve coping.

Background and approach

She also supports people navigating concerns tied to attachment, abandonment, and relationship patterns. Practical matters like communication problems, commitment worries, and control issues are addressed in simple, step-by-step ways. Rachel also works with concerns involving body image, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, and aspects of kink or alternative sex culture.

She aims to make conversations about these topics direct and nonjudgmental. Therapy is collaborative. Rachel and a client set goals together and track progress over time.

Sessions blend short-term skill building with deeper work on underlying patterns when needed. The work is paced to what each person can manage. Rachel practices in Washington and carries the LICSW credential, which is the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker designation.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats. She encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready, and will help shape a plan that fits their life and goals.

Online support

How attachment work and practical therapies translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions let clients talk through patterns in relationships and practice new approaches to connection from day-to-day life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies for mood and problem solving. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means mixing attachment-focused insight with skills-based tools when appropriate. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and role-play communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, mood tracking, and on-the-day coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
