About Raelene
Raelene Faught is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 14 years of experience based in Illinois. She frames therapy as practical work that helps people heal from hurts and make healthier choices. Her style centers on listening, learning about each person's life, and helping them find actions that fit their goals.
She often sees people dealing with anxiety, depression, parenting questions, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Raelene also helps with stress, addictions, self-esteem, ADHD, and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment.
Background and approach
She brings a broad range of focus areas so clients can bring whatever matters most to them. Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions blend client-centered conversations with cognitive-behavioral tools to identify patterns and try different responses.
She uses motivational interviewing ideas to support readiness for change and solution-focused steps to set clear short-term goals. Raelene pays attention to how past wounds affect current relationships and parenting. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of communicating, and build routines that reduce reactivity.
Work in sessions includes talking through situations, trying skill-based exercises, and planning realistic next steps. People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style often find this approach useful. Raelene also supports people facing complicated grief, trauma histories, or workplace and caregiving strain.
She wishes clients well and aims for therapy that fits each person’s daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Raelene uses client-centered therapy to meet each person where they are. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and helping clients make choices that match their values. It is useful for people who want a collaborative space to sort out feelings and priorities.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers practical tools - like noticing thoughts, testing assumptions, and trying new behaviors - that can help with anxiety, depression, and stress related to parenting or life change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress or challenges appear.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good when visual cues help the conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit quick check-ins or shorter reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
