About Rainey
Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, and issues like codependency. Rainey also supports people dealing with parenting, career strain, ADHD, and the effects of caregiving or major life changes.
She has worked in a range of settings across the lifespan, including work with adults and older adults. Her background includes clinical work with substance use issues, trauma, and family-related challenges. That experience informs how she frames next steps with each person she sees.
Rainey draws on several practical approaches to guide sessions. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In sessions she focuses on concrete skills, noticing unhelpful patterns, and building clearer personal boundaries.
Conversations tend to focus on what is getting in the way day to day. She helps people practice new ways of responding rather than relying on old habits. Sessions often include skill practice, goal-setting, and checking what works between meetings.
People who reach out usually want straightforward help with emotions, coping, and relationships. Rainey asks about practical needs and life context, then works collaboratively to set priorities for therapy.
How sessions work
How Rainey works online with evidence-based approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and unhelpful reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and coping tools for intense feelings and impulsive behavior.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Rainey will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals, current struggles, and what feels manageable. That choice can shift as people try different tools and notice what helps.
