About Kemberly

Dr. Kemberly Rainney meets people who are worn out by stress, struggling with addiction, or trying to repair relationships. She offers direct, steady support for common concerns like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the fallout from trauma or substance use. She also helps people navigate parenting challenges, blended family tension, divorce and separation, codependency, and issues tied to military service.

Dr. Rainney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 26 years of clinical experience in Virginia. She draws on approaches that center the person, focus on practical steps, and build solutions one at a time. In sessions she listens first, then works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and small, manageable changes.

Her background includes long experience in mental health and substance use care. She combines problem-focused strategies with client-centered conversation to address drug and alcohol addiction, anger, low self-esteem, and post-traumatic stress concerns. She also offers guidance around forgiveness, self-love, and women’s issues.

People can expect straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and practical skills to try between meetings. The work is collaborative: the therapist and client pick what to try, adjust what isn’t working, and track progress in simple ways.

Sessions are held with attention to each person’s needs and schedule. If you want to learn more about formats or how to get started, follow the Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy means talking and listening in a way that keeps the person's goals in front. It helps when someone needs judgment-free time to sort feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on clear links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and behavior linked to substance use. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what works now and builds small, achievable steps to move forward, often producing quick, concrete changes.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Early sessions often test a few techniques and then narrow the plan to what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools like worksheets or skill practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused exercises to remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting virtually.
