About Rainey
Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, steady support for common problems like anxiety, stress, addiction, low self-esteem, and mood concerns. Rainey speaks English and works from Utah, offering sessions in several online formats to fit different needs.
Her approach blends evidence-based methods with a warm, client-centered stance. Sessions usually begin with simple goals and clear steps. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance-based practice to build values-driven action.
Background and approach
Emotion regulation skills from dialectical methods are added when strong feelings get in the way of daily life. Rainey has helped people facing trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, caregiver burnout, and life disruptions such as illness or separation. She also supports those navigating issues tied to adoption and foster care, aging, blended family dynamics, and addiction.
Her background includes a range of clinical settings across the lifespan, giving her broad exposure to different life stages and challenges. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative goal-setting, and practical homework between sessions. Treatment plans are adjusted to match each person's priorities and pace.
Rainey uses a mix of talking, skills practice, and problem-solving to make progress in day-to-day life. She holds a Utah Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, abbreviated LCSW. Rainey offers online and phone-based contact options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, and she accepts international clients.
Online approaches that focus on values and skills
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act toward what matters most. It helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles by clarifying values and building small habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic, phobias, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust methods to match each person's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, or a blend of approaches best fits the situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful when face-to-face interaction matters, while phone calls can fit into a work break or low-bandwidth setting. Live chat and texting make brief check-ins and skill practice easier between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, regular follow-up, and ongoing skill-building without adding travel time.
