About Rainey

Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with about 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports clients dealing with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, career issues, and life changes.

Her background includes work across multiple settings and with a wide age range. She uses a mix of practical therapies to address everyday problems like managing anger, coping with grief, and handling work or caregiver stress. She also helps people navigating ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Rainey draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In sessions she focuses on concrete skills, clearer communication, and patterns that keep problems repeating. That can look like practicing new coping skills, testing small behavior changes, or learning ways to talk about difficult feelings.

She has additional experience with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer-related stress, and substance use challenges. This background informs practical strategies for support when life circumstances shift.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a cancelable subscription model for sessions that vary in cost by location.

BHow sessions work

How Rainey uses therapy approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting driven by them. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and addictions.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape how people connect now. It can help when relationship patterns, trust, or closeness cause ongoing stress or conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rainey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That conversation includes reviewing the problem, testing a strategy, and adjusting goals as progress emerges.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in between commitments, fewer travel demands, or using audio only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these practical adaptations to help therapy fit everyday schedules.
