Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience in social work and clinical practice. She helps people set clear goals and work toward them with practical strategies. Her style is straightforward and focused on what each person needs right now.
She uses familiar approaches like cognitive behavioral methods to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques help people clarify values and take committed action even when emotions are difficult.
Rainey has worked across many settings over the years, supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self esteem. Her background includes experience with issues around parenting, caregiving, career changes, and grief tied to illness or loss. She also addresses relationship concerns, communication problems, and the effects of trauma on daily life.
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady steps toward the goals the client names. She combines brief solution-focused ideas with longer-term strategies when needed. Conversations are meant to leave people with tools they can try between meetings.
Rainey practices in Utah and communicates in English. She accepts international clients and brings a calm, experienced presence to complicated situations. To begin, people are invited to complete the platform’s matching steps and schedule a session.
Approaches that guide online work
Rainey frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, choose what matters most, and take small actions toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rainey will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress and life circumstances change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it may allow shorter check-ins during a work break or avoid travel time. It also lets people use approaches like CBT worksheets, ACT exercises, and skills practice between visits to keep progress moving forward.
