About Rainey
Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of professional experience based in Utah. She helps people address issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, relationship concerns, and parenting struggles. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Her approach mixes practical skills with talk-based work. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns and DBT strategies to manage strong emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and commit to small behavior changes over time.
Rainey has worked across different service settings during her career. That background means she is familiar with the challenges people face after trauma, with substance use, and while managing chronic caregiving roles. She also supports people dealing with grief, cancer-related stress, adoption and foster care questions, and blended family dynamics.
In sessions she focuses on concrete steps you can practice between meetings. Examples include grounding and distress-tolerance tools for intense moments, communication skills for tense relationships, and behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping. She also addresses career stress, ADHD-related struggles, and patterns of codependency when they come up.
People looking to manage anger, rebuild trust after conflict, or reduce recurring frustration may find this approach useful. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals and practical next steps can be set.
How sessions work
How Rainey uses proven approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. It can be useful for frustration, anger that gets in the way of goals, and sustaining behavior change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that fuel stress and anger and testing alternative ways of thinking. CBT is practical and often includes homework to practice new skills between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers hands-on strategies for tolerating intense emotion and improving communication. Skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation can reduce snap reactions and ease escalation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps decide which tools to emphasize in sessions.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skill practices, and plans so they work in a remote format while keeping the focus on practical steps for managing anger and stress.
