About Elizabeth
Elizabeth H. T. Rainey helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, or major life changes.
She is Elizabeth Rainey, LPC, LCMHC, and she brings 15 years of clinical work to each session. Her plain goal is to help clients find steadiness, self-compassion, and clearer direction. She uses an approach that centers on the person in front of her.
Sessions focus on what matters to the client now - coping skills, moving through grief or shame, and making choices that match values.
Background and approach
Elizabeth blends practical tools with reflective conversation so people can act differently between sessions. Her work draws on existential ideas about meaning, attachment-based thinking about relationships, and client-centered listening that keeps the client’s needs in charge. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices to manage symptoms like panic, low mood, or intrusive memories.
Elizabeth has worked as a counselor, supervisor, researcher, and professor. Those roles shaped how she explains things clearly and teaches skills that people can use right away. She pays attention to the mind-body connection and how relationships affect recovery.
Outside of work she finds energy in the natural world and in time spent with horses. Those interests feed her steady, present approach to care and her wish to help others reconnect with their inner strengths.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth often draws on Existential Therapy to help people name what feels meaningful or empty in their lives and to face big questions about purpose and choice. This approach can help when someone feels stuck, isolated, or unsure what matters next.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape comfort with closeness and safety. That work is useful for people dealing with trust issues, relationship patterns, or the effects of difficult family histories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the mix of reflection and skills over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and chat or text can offer shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical tools, meaning-making, and steady support.
