Online support
How Rainey’s Approaches Work Online
Rainey uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and often focuses on small, measurable steps that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she uses; ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed actions even when difficult feelings appear.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions and patterns. That perspective can help with relationship difficulties, trust issues, and patterns of emotional reactivity. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together - Rainey collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and daily life preferences rather than applying one fixed model.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill-building, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and messaging is handy for brief updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep steady progress even when life is unpredictable.
