About Rainey
Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with 20 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also addresses parenting and family-related concerns, including adoption and blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
She favors practical, person-focused methods that help people manage day-to-day challenges. Sessions often include skills practice, looking at patterns that cause pain, and building clearer ways to meet personal goals. Her background includes work across settings with adults and older adults, and experience with substance use and trauma-related care.
Rainey uses several therapy approaches to match what a person needs. These include cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and acceptance-based tools to handle difficult feelings. She also draws on dialectical behavior techniques for emotion regulation and client-centered listening to keep sessions grounded in each person's priorities.
People who come for help can expect straightforward conversation and concrete options to try between sessions. Rainey pays attention to how home life, caregiving roles, and past experiences affect current stress. She supports adults working through relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction concerns, and the aftereffects of trauma.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location, and the service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Rainey uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and some behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns show up in current relationships and communication; it can be useful for addressing relationship strain and parenting dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rainey will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. She combines strategies and adjusts them as progress and needs become clearer so the plan stays practical and relevant.
