Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Rachel Felton

Rachel draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as core ways of working with clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape present-day connections and emotional regulation, which can support work on relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment wounds.

Rachel approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. They will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapt techniques from different approaches to create a personalized plan that feels like a good fit.

Online therapy with Rachel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options allow for flexible scheduling, consistent contact between sessions, and multiple ways to communicate that match a client's comfort and needs.
