About Rainey
Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people feel and respond. She offers straightforward, practical support for stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and other concerns. Her approach centers on helping people notice unhelpful thought patterns and build small, useful habits that improve daily life.
She brings 20 years of professional experience in social work and clinical practice across multiple settings. That background informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs. Sessions mix talking, skill-building, and real-world exercises people can try between appointments.
Rainey uses several evidence-based approaches to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change thought patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports taking valued action even with difficult feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions.
Her practice also addresses trauma, sexual abuse, parenting strain, caregiver stress, addiction, relationship and communication problems, and life changes such as divorce or bereavement. She pays attention to how past attachment experiences can affect current relationships and self-esteem.
Sessions are offered in English and Rainey accepts international clients. The sign-up process uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that shape online therapy sessions
Rainey often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online conversations. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical ways to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. ACT emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small steps toward them even when difficult emotions are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will adapt methods to fit what matters most. That collaborative process means techniques can change as needs evolve rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoiding the need to use video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help people practice skills in the places and routines where they live and work.
