About Rainey
Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and individuals coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood struggles, and life transitions. Her approach aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for everyday life.
She blends several therapy styles to match a person's needs. That mix can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take action, and attachment-based ideas to strengthen important relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and calmer responses. Rainey has worked in many clinical settings across two decades, gaining experience addressing addiction, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, and caregiving stress. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, cancer-related strain, and career-related pressures.
This background informs a flexible style that adapts to each situation. She uses a client-centered stance that centers the person's goals and pace. Practical skill-building is common in sessions, including coping strategies for anger, tools for ADHD-related struggles, and approaches to manage depression or bipolar symptoms.
The aim is to leave people with clear steps they can try between meetings. Based in Utah, Rainey conducts work in English and accepts international clients. Her practice includes video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options so people can choose what fits their life.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and life challenges
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that matter even when feelings are difficult. It helps people who want to reduce avoidance and build a life that reflects what they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rainey will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. Together they will try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so it stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
