About Rainey
Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of practice. She blends straightforward talk with practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and ADHD-related challenges. Rainey aims to make sessions clear and useful from the first meeting.
She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance-based methods, and attachment-focused ideas to address difficult patterns. That mix helps people change unhelpful thinking, build meaningful values-driven action, and strengthen how they relate to others.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize small, doable steps rather than theory alone. Rainey has worked across many settings over 20 years, bringing experience with addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, caregiver stress, and long-term mood concerns. She also supports people facing life transitions, career stress, and relationship or communication problems.
Her background includes supporting adults through medical and caregiving challenges. In practical terms she focuses on skills people can use between sessions. That includes grounding exercises, coping plans, behavioral experiments, and ways to organize day-to-day routines that reduce overwhelm.
She helps people find tools that fit their lives and goals. Her approach is collaborative and respectful. Rainey listens for what matters most to each person and adapts methods to fit their pace.
She offers video, phone, chat, and messaging options for remote work with clients in Utah and beyond.
Evidence-informed approaches delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when strong feelings show up. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and for managing life with ADHD when emotions or avoidance get in the way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. That approach helps change patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, and impulsive behavior by teaching concrete skills and routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can be helpful for people who struggle with mood swings, anger, or repeated crises and who want structured tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time so the approach fits how someone lives and what they want to achieve.
Online therapy makes these methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and skill practice, phone can fit a break or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or written coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
