About Raelene
Raelene Faught is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people heal from past hurts and make healthier choices in their lives and relationships. She often works with anxiety alongside issues such as trauma, parenting stress, grief, and life transitions.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats each person as the expert on their life and asks questions to understand what matters most.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer choices rather than jargon or long lectures. Raelene draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Therapy with her tends to focus on small, useful steps. That might look like setting concrete goals, trying different coping skills between sessions, and checking what worked.
She also pays attention to safety and the impact of past trauma while building new skills. People who choose her often want straightforward help with anxiety, stress, parenting burdens, or relationship problems. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful so clients can take steady steps toward better functioning and stronger relationships.
How Raelene uses therapy approaches online
Raelene commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions usually include setting small goals and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and sense of self. That approach helps people understand why they react a certain way and try different ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raelene talks with each person about priorities, tries methods that fit those goals, and adjusts strategies as needed. She collaborates with clients to pick tools that match their needs and preferences rather than using one fixed method.
Online therapy offers options to fit busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging is an option for brief support, check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into daily routines.
