About Raelene
Raelene Faught is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC licensed in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with anxiety, stress, grief, parenting strains, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger. Her work is grounded in practical goals and steady conversation. She aims to help people make healthier choices and improve relationships.
Raelene describes her role as standing alongside the person who knows their life best. She listens for what matters and then helps people learn new ways of responding. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and small changes that can be practiced between meetings.
Her approach mixes client-centered ways of working with cognitive behavioral strategies. That means she explores how thoughts and actions link, and then experiments with different responses. She also brings an attachment-based perspective when relationships and family history are central to the problem.
People bring a range of concerns, from coping with life transitions to dealing with addiction or compassion fatigue. Raelene also addresses more specific issues such as body image, codependency, adoption and foster care questions, and first responder stress. She offers straightforward conversation about what is getting in the way and what might change.
Her style emphasizes collaboration and practical tools rather than lengthy interpretation. If someone wants to reduce reactivity, manage resentment, or handle anger that affects close relationships, she works on concrete skills and small experiments to test what helps. The goal is clearer decision making and more workable daily routines.
Approaches used in online sessions and what to expect
Raelene uses client-centered work that focuses on the person's own goals and experience. This approach means the therapist listens first, then helps the person identify priorities and possible next steps. It is useful when someone wants a collaborative, respectful way to sort out what matters most.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT in practice often involves testing new behaviors between meetings and tracking what changes. That method can help with anxiety, anger, low mood, and stress by teaching practical skills to change patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Raelene will discuss what seems most useful based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as those needs change. The work is collaborative and focuses on testing small changes to see what helps.
