About Rainey

Rainey Boateng is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and life changes. She draws on familiar therapies to find what fits each person. Her style is straightforward and focused on steps clients can use between sessions.

Rainey has twenty years of experience in social work and mental health. She has provided care in a range of settings and with people facing many challenges.

Background and approach

That background gives her a broad view of coping strategies and resources. In sessions she uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods are applied in simple, concrete ways - for example practicing new skills, changing patterns of thinking, and building stronger emotional awareness.

Her areas of focus include depression, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting, relationship issues, and managing major life transitions. She also supports concerns related to aging, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiving stress, and medical challenges like cancer. Rainey works from Utah and offers services in English.

She is a Utah LCSW, license number 6595792-3501, and brings a practical approach to therapy that emphasizes collaboration and useful tools.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when emotions are hard. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching practical steps to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses patterns in close relationships and supports building safer emotional connections and better communication.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Rainey will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can mix techniques so sessions fit the issue at hand rather than following a single rigid model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keep continuity through life changes, and allow people in different places to connect with a licensed professional. Practical tools and skill practice from sessions can be used between contacts, helping learning stick regardless of format.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
