She has worked in a variety of clinical settings with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric clients, bringing a broad perspective to each therapeutic relationship.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, LGBT-related concerns, eating and parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, cancer-related issues, codependency, communication and control issues, domestic violence, and substance use concerns. Rainey combines practical skills training with empathetic support to help clients identify goals, develop coping strategies, and build resilience in everyday life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Rainey works with several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters most - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and how those patterns affect current connections; it can be useful for couples work, family issues, and healing from trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and structured exercises, which is effective for anxiety, depression, and coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rainey collaborates with each client to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the treatment fit evolves as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or geographical limitations, and allow clients to continue consistent therapeutic work from different settings while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can support recovery and growth.
