About Kemberly

Dr. Kemberly Rainney is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Virginia with 26 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, mood conditions, ADHD, and blended family issues. She also lists trauma and abuse, codependency, divorce and separation, and substance use among her focus areas.

She draws on practical, goal-focused methods in sessions. That can mean talking through coping skills for a new blended household. It can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety, anger, or substance use patterns going. Sessions are structured to help people make concrete changes they can try between meetings.

Rainney's background includes long experience in mental health and substance use work. She combines problem-solving strategies with client-centered listening. This lets the person set priorities for what needs attention first, such as co-parenting routines, loyalty conflicts, or personal coping strategies.

When people bring concerns about a stepfamily, she works to identify practical steps to reduce conflict and improve daily routines. She also helps people handle grief or separation issues that affect parenting and household roles. The approach is collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change.

Sessions emphasize skills people can use right away and short-term goals when appropriate. Over time, the aim is clearer decision making, steadier mood management, and improved ways of relating in blended household situations.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities, letting the therapist follow what matters most and support the client in making decisions. It helps when a person needs someone to listen and to build goals together.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior. It teaches specific skills for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that can affect blended households or substance use. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to create change quickly. It is useful for addressing immediate household routines, co-parenting problems, or managing a specific behavior.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and the problems presented. That decision is revisited as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding being on camera when that is not needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused exercises for remote sessions so skills and steps can be practiced between meetings.
