About Rainey

Rainey Boateng brings twenty years of clinical social work experience to her practice, and she integrates a range of evidence-informed approaches to support people facing complex challenges.

Background and approach

As an LCSW she blends cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-based and attachment-informed techniques to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and ADHD. Her background includes work across multiple care settings, which informs a flexible, person-centered way of collaborating with clients.

Her practice emphasizes practical skills and values-driven change while also attending to relational patterns and emotional processing. Rainey has worked with concerns that span stress and coping, relationship and communication problems, self-esteem and identity questions, grief and life transitions, and behavioral health issues like bipolar disorder and substance use.

She aims to tailor interventions to each person’s goals, drawing from modalities including ACT, CBT, DBT, and attachment-based therapies to create a treatment plan that fits the client’s needs and circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings; it is useful for stress, anxiety, life changes, and patterns that interfere with meaningful living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and structured exercises, often applied to anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic journey. Rainey works collaboratively with each person to choose approaches that align with their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure the treatment plan fits the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Rainey uses flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more accessible across schedules and locations. These options allow sessions to be arranged around work, family, and life commitments while preserving continuity of care and enabling ongoing skill practice between meetings.
