How Rainey’s approaches are used in online therapy
Rainey uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in clear, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different actions to change how daily life feels. Acceptance and commitment therapy emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client talk about goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, values work, or exploring relationship patterns.

Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
