About Elizabeth H. T. Rainey

Elizabeth H. T. Rainey brings fifteen years of clinical and academic experience to her work supporting people through healing and reconnection. Her background includes roles as a counselor, supervisor, researcher, and professor, each informing a thoughtful, evidence-aware approach that honors the whole person. She views therapy as a collaborative, embodied process that invites curiosity, self-compassion, and greater mindful awareness to help clients rebuild a sense of safety, belonging, and purpose.

In practice she weaves together somatic awareness, mindfulness, self-compassion, and narrative exploration to address suffering and foster sustained growth rather than quick fixes. Her perspective emphasizes the mind-body connection and the central role of relationships in recovery, helping clients move toward presence, integrity, and alignment with their values. Elizabeth respects each person’s innate resilience and inner wisdom, and she invites clients to explore change at a pace that feels natural and sustainable.

She holds the credentials LPC and LCMHC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - reflecting her training to provide professional mental health care. Outside of therapeutic work, she draws ongoing inspiration from the natural world and interactions with horses, experiences that help ground her own practice of presence and inform the compassionate, relational way she supports others on their journeys.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that support connection

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and safety. It helps people understand relational habits, repair ruptures, and build more secure ways of relating to others and themselves, useful for trauma, relationship stress, and family-of-origin concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and strengths, offering a nonjudgmental space that encourages self-exploration and choice. This approach supports increased self-acceptance, clarity about values, and improved decision-making when facing life transitions, self-esteem struggles, or parenting challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle self-compassion, offering practical skills to reduce emotional reactivity and to cope with anxiety, stress, and mood fluctuations. Practices are integrated into daily life to support sustained wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and respectful of the client’s pace.

Online therapy with a licensed professional allows sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and the ability to engage from familiar settings. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic limitations while receiving personalized therapeutic support.
