About Rainey

Rainey Boateng is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Utah with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship struggles, ADHD, and concerns tied to family of origin. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking to manage daily challenges.

Rainey draws on several established approaches including cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based strategies. She also uses attachment-informed ideas and client-centered conversation to help clients notice patterns that began in childhood and still affect choices today. Sessions typically include straightforward exercises, thought reframing, and attention to how relationships shape mood and behavior.

Her background spans multiple care settings across the lifespan, giving experience with aging concerns, adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and substance use. This breadth informs how she sees overlapping problems like co-morbidity, codependency, and coping with life changes. The work often links current problems back to earlier family roles and expectations.

Rainey tends to keep sessions grounded and practical. People can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and planning small experiments to test new ways of relating. She helps clients sort through communication problems, commitment questions, and the emotional fallout from difficult family dynamics.

For those juggling work, caregiving, or health concerns, she looks at realistic steps that fit everyday life. Rainey supports clients as they figure out manageable changes, set boundaries, and build better coping routines.

How Rainey applies therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on valued actions. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and connections, useful for people curious about family of origin influences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rainey will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to try first based on the client's goals, history, and preferences. She checks in and adapts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.
