How Rainey’s approaches translate to online work
Rainey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and major life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that lead to distress and to practice concrete skills for changing those patterns. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rainey will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to use and how to adapt them for online sessions.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier to arrange and allow people to use telephone or video options if those suit them best. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the current options when booking so you know what will be offered.
