LCSW - Stress and Addiction
See online therapy optionsAbout Rainey
Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem issues. She also supports clients with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, and career or life-change worries.
Boateng uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based work, and client-centered techniques. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, testing new responses, and building everyday skills that reduce distress.
Her background includes work across multiple settings and with a wide age range. That experience informs a flexible approach that balances problem-focused strategies with attention to emotional experience. She draws on trauma-informed practices when needed and integrates addiction-focused interventions for those facing substance-related concerns.
In therapy she helps people break down problems into manageable steps. That might look like tracking thoughts and behaviors, practicing new coping skills, or clarifying values to guide decisions. She also addresses practical relationship and communication problems so daily life runs more smoothly.
Clients who choose her can expect a straightforward, skills-oriented process. She works in English and accepts international clients. People who want to begin are invited to follow the online matching and scheduling steps to set a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rainey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns and to try new coping strategies; CBT often includes brief exercises clients practice between sessions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings appear, and Attachment-Based approaches that look at how past relationship patterns shape current reactions.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences, and then collaborate on which methods to try first and how to adjust them based on progress and feedback.
The therapist's biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use video or phone to match their comfort with being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT exercises for remote sessions, including tracking sheets, behavioral experiments, and value-based homework, to help skills transfer into everyday life.
