About Elizabeth
Elizabeth H. T.
Background and approach
Rainey brings a compassionate, collaborative presence to people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. She frames therapy as a partnership that invites curiosity, self-compassion, and practical strategies to restore a sense of safety and purpose.
With attention to both thoughts and lived experience, she helps clients reconnect with resilience and meaning rather than focusing only on symptom relief. Rainey blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with relational and mindfulness-informed practices to address emotional patterns and everyday struggles.
Her work honors the mind-body relationship through embodied awareness, narrative exploration, and contemplative practices that support sustainable change. Across 15 years in counseling, supervision, research, and teaching she has developed an approach grounded in clinical knowledge and real-world experience.
Based in North Carolina and credentialed as an LPC and LCMHC, she offers a therapeutic stance that centers authenticity and presence. Clients can expect a steady, respectful space where growth unfolds at a pace that fits each person, with a focus on rebuilding connection, clarity, and purpose.
Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life transitions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and how early connections shape current ways of relating and feeling, which can be especially helpful for issues around trust, intimacy, and belonging.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and adapts methods over time so the work feels useful and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve. Clients can expect ongoing discussion about what is or isn’t working and adjustments as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing life circumstances and to access therapeutic support from where the client is located.
