Approaches that guide online sessions
Rainey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce distress. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with addiction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rainey will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so clients remain involved in shaping their care.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use therapeutic tools in the settings where they live, which can make practice between sessions more straightforward.
