About Rainey
Rainey Boateng brings two decades of clinical social work experience to her practice, blending practical strategies with compassionate listening. As an LCSW she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based and attachment-focused methods to help clients manage anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and stress-related concerns.
Background and approach
Her approach emphasizes helping people recognize unhelpful patterns, develop concrete skills, and clarify values to guide meaningful change. Her work also addresses relationship and family challenges, self-esteem and identity concerns including LGBT issues, eating and parenting struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career or life transition stresses.
Additional focus areas include caregiving burdens, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care matters, grief related to cancer, and substance use issues. Rainey’s background in varied clinical settings informs a flexible style that adapts tools from DBT, client-centered therapy, and trauma-informed practices to each person’s needs.
Based in Utah, she offers services in English and accepts international clients. Rainey combines evidence-informed techniques with an emphasis on collaboration, helping clients set realistic goals and practice skills between sessions as they work toward greater stability and resilience.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Rainey frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility through mindful acceptance and committed action. Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work when relational patterns and early attachment experiences are central to presenting problems, helping people explore connection and security in relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rainey discusses options with clients, considers their goals and preferences, and adapts techniques from different models to create an individualized plan that fits what each person needs at the time.
Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers tied to travel or local availability. These formats support ongoing work between sessions and allow licensed professionals to deliver practical skills training, value-driven planning, and emotional support in ways that fit modern routines.
