About Kemberly
Dr. Kemberly Rainney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 26 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, parenting concerns, trauma, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. She also supports those facing life transitions and issues like codependency, divorce, and blended family challenges.
She served in the Army and completed degrees at the University of Maryland, Virginia State University, and Virginia Commonwealth University. Her graduate studies included rehabilitation counseling with a focus on addictions, and she later earned a PhD in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior in 2018. She is a wife and a mother of two adult sons.
Dr. Rainney uses a client-centered stance and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy depending on what a person needs. She describes her approach as collaborative - building rapport first, then choosing practical steps to address the problem at hand. Sessions can include talking through triggers, developing coping strategies, and setting small goals that change daily patterns.
Her work includes individual counseling, couples counseling, and group counseling. When anger shows up as frequent irritability, sudden outbursts, or simmering resentment, she helps people recognize patterns and try different responses that reduce conflict and regret.
People who want straightforward, practical support for managing strong emotions often find her direct style helpful. She encourages clear goals, measurable steps, and follow-up so progress is visible over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and building a working relationship. It helps when someone needs a steady person to talk through feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that fuel anger. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and short-term goals to shift behavior and reduce conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That choice can change as progress is made and as challenges evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on a lunch break, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when life is busy. Those practical benefits help people keep momentum while working on anger, coping skills, and relationship habits.
