Rainey Boateng, LCSW

Rainey Boateng is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience supporting people through hard transitions. She focuses on depression alongside related concerns like anxiety, stress, trauma, and addiction. Rainey explains things plainly and helps people set small, practical goals they can use between sessions.

Rainey uses approaches that help people notice what matters and take steps toward it. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and uses acceptance-based ideas to reduce struggling with painful feelings. She also brings attachment-informed perspectives when relationship patterns are a central concern.

Over her career she has worked in a range of settings and with many different life stages. That background helps when a problem touches work, caregiving, health, or family roles. She pays attention to how practical pressures and past experiences shape current struggles.

In sessions she aims for clear, down-to-earth collaboration. That includes setting concrete goals, practicing skills in-session, and checking how tools work in daily life. She can help people struggling with self-esteem, addictions, anger, parenting strain, career stress, and navigating life changes.

Rainey also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, aging and caregiver stress, cancer-related strain, and co-occurring health or substance use problems. She welcomes questions about how her background fits a specific concern before scheduling.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule according to the matching process and availability. The goal is a practical plan that fits each person’s life and priorities.
