Background and approach
In sessions she combines talking and practical skills. She uses client-centered conversations to understand what matters most to each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and build different responses.
She also uses solution-focused methods to set small, realistic goals people can try between sessions. This often means creating short experiments and checking what works. The emphasis is on clear steps and real-life changes, not abstract theory.
Dr. Rainney practices from Virginia and conducts therapy in English. Her background includes long experience with substance use concerns, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and issues related to relationships and blended families.
She describes herself as collaborative and practical, helping people find what fits their life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely to each person's concerns and building sessions around their priorities; online sessions let the therapist and client focus on what matters most from the first meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits through exercises and check-ins, which work well in video or text formats for homework and progress tracking. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical goals and steps to try between sessions, making it easy to use brief messages or phone check-ins to monitor results.Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, thought-behavior work, or short-term problem solving, and they can change course as needed.
Online formats offer flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction for in-depth work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send short updates, try quick coping strategies, or check progress between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules and different daily routines.
