About Rayna
Rayna Vergiels is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Kentucky. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and combines faith-informed perspectives with practical, evidence-based techniques. Rayna focuses on clear goals and steady progress while offering a compassionate presence during difficult moments.
Her style is structured and goal-oriented. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship challenges to build resilience and greater self-esteem.
How Rayna works
Sessions often include actionable tools, simple practices, and steps clients can try between meetings. Rayna welcomes Christian faith as part of the counseling process when clients want that included. She also offers care that is grounded in research-backed methods and practical problem solving.
The aim is to create lasting change through steady, manageable shifts in thinking and behavior. People contact her for a range of concerns such as panic, post-traumatic stress, life transitions, and long-standing family-of-origin or attachment issues. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Therapy starts with a clear plan and measurable steps. Rayna works collaboratively to set goals, track progress, and adjust approaches when needed. Her sessions are direct but warm, focused on helping people leave each meeting with something to try.
Services are offered through online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. All sessions are conducted in English and scheduled to fit client needs.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Rayna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes structured, goal-directed work where sessions set clear objectives and follow steps to reach them; this is helpful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Another approach integrates faith when the client chooses, combining spiritual resources with research-backed methods to address issues like grief, guilt, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Rayna reviews symptoms, goals, and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as therapy unfolds. She helps clients try techniques and decides together whether to continue, adapt, or introduce new strategies based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people connect face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work when lower bandwidth or fewer visual demands are needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit work breaks, school schedules, or different daily routines.
