Hello, I'm Dr. Rainney, an African-American female, Army veteran here to help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner. I have been providing mental health and substance abuse services for 28+ years. I am a wife and a mother of two adult sons.
I received my Associates degree while serving in the Army in Germany from the University of Maryland, Upon my honorable discharge I attended Virginia State University and completed my bachelors degree in Sociology with honors. I decided to continue my education at the Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University earning my Master of Science degree in Rehabilitation Counseling with a concentration in Addictions. Later in my career I decided to return to school to get a PhD in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior, graduating in 2018.
I provide individual counseling, couples counseling, and group counseling. My theoretical approach is determined based on the rapport built with the clients to determine the best approach. I am here to help facilitate and guide my clients to a positive outcome.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She's fabulous. Very caring and insightful.
Dr Rainey has helped me work through my depression and has given me a outlet for my anxiety.
Dr. Rainney is the best therapist I’ve had to date. She asks me questions about the things she knows are bothering me the most, and gives me actionable things to do following our sessions. She’s relatable, kind and understanding. I highly recommend her!!
Loving this experience!
Extremely useful.
So smart, relatable and easy to talk to. I feel like she understands me even when I am word vomiting, and is able to give me helpful feedback. I am so thankful I found her on my first time joining Betterhelp because I am so excited to be on a genuine path to healing and TRUE mental health and happiness!!!
It’s been great working with her
Dr. Rainney knows what she is doing. She listened to my needs and how I️ can effectively use therapy going forward. She also is there when need for a quick message if need be. When it comes to doing work outside of therapy, the lessons she gives you match up with what your needs in therapy. Overall I️ would Recommend her to anyone looking to get into therapy.
Very nice and hears what I have to say !
Within the past few weeks since I started with Dr. Rainney, I’ve noticed the difference in my thinking and emotional state. This process is not easy and she has been very straightforward as well as supportive though it all. The homework that she’s given me has allowed me to think deeper as well as focus on areas that I need to work on.
We just started working together, but I feel 'seen' by Dr. Rainney and look forward to our sessions.
Love Dr. Rainey. I feel like she understands me and knows how to help me with my situation
Dr Rainney has made me realize that we all have times in our life where we need to feel heard and it’s ok
