About Rainey
Rainey Boateng uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people move through hard moments. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience in social work and clinical care. Her style is approachable and direct, aimed at helping people find workable steps forward.
Over 20 years she has worked in many settings and helped clients with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and major life changes.
How Rainey works
Additional areas include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family issues, cancer-related adjustment, and substance use concerns. Rainey draws from several well-known therapeutic approaches when planning care. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns. Attachment-based work and client-centered listening guide longer-term relational healing. Sessions emphasize concrete skills, steady emotional support, and collaborative goal-setting.
She adapts methods to each person's situation and preferences. Her aim is to make therapy useful and doable between sessions. Rainey provides services from Utah and speaks English.
She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

Online support options
Approach-driven care delivered online
Rainey commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people get clearer about their values and take small actions that match those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rainey will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose strategies and adjust them as needed so therapy feels helpful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use therapy without being on camera. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
