Rainey Boateng , LCSW

Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah with 20 years of professional experience. As an LCSW she has advanced training in clinical social work and brings extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients across a variety of practice settings. Her work focuses on helping people navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting difficulties, and issues related to self-esteem and life transitions.

She integrates a range of therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based and client-centered methods, as well as solution-focused brief therapy and targeted interventions for couples and addiction. This flexible, skills-oriented approach supports practical coping, emotional regulation, and rebuilding relationships while attending to trauma-informed principles. Rainey aims to create a collaborative environment where goals are clear and treatment aligns with each client's strengths and values.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rainey uses evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility, helping people cope with difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and emotion, supporting healing in relationships and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rainey works collaboratively with clients to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting strategies over time to find what works best for each individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied routines and geographic locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during life transitions, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life while working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to each client's situation.
