Dr. Rainney uses practical, structured methods in sessions. She works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new responses, and setting clear, manageable goals.

In early sessions she gathers straightforward information about current concerns and past treatment. She then chooses approaches that fit the person’s goals and the rapport they build together. Expect clear exercises, skill practice, and short-term problem solving alongside longer-term work when needed.
People who prefer a direct, skills-based approach often find this practical. She also offers coaching-style support for life changes and recovery-focused planning for substance concerns. If you need help deciding on the right format for sessions, confirm current session options before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Rainney commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical steps and small, measurable changes to get relief and momentum quickly. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a straightforward working relationship. That approach emphasizes listening and responding to what the person says, then adjusting the pace and focus based on the client's goals. Together, the client and therapist choose the methods that fit best for the problem at hand. Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into a busy week. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and continue ongoing coaching or relapse-prevention planning between major life changes.
