About Rainey
Rainey Boateng uses a practical, skill-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience and a straightforward style that focuses on what helps now. Rainey speaks English and works with adults on a range of life challenges.
She practices from Utah and accepts international clients for online sessions. Rainey blends methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance-based work, and attachment-informed ideas.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning tools to manage symptoms, trying small behavioral changes, and practicing new ways to respond to hard feelings. She also draws on dialectical skills when emotion regulation is a goal. Her background includes long-term clinical work across varied settings with people facing addiction, trauma, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and major life transitions.
That breadth supports flexible, real-world strategies rather than a single fixed method. Rainey aims to meet people where they are and build on their strengths. In meetings she keeps language plain and actions concrete.
Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and steady skill practice between sessions. The emphasis is on useful, repeatable steps that fit into daily life. Rainey’s approach is steady and adaptable.
She helps people handle immediate problems while also addressing patterns that cause recurring distress. Her work is geared toward improving coping, relationships, and day-to-day functioning.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters to them. It uses exercises to clarify values and small, committed actions to create change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and help people build safer, more connected interactions in their close relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well for shorter check-ins. Chat or messaging can be used for brief reflections, homework check-ins, or ongoing support between meetings. These options increase flexibility and help match the mode of contact to what works best for each person.
