About Reimi
Reimi Willett is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 12 years of direct counseling experience. She speaks English and Japanese and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, family and parenting issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationships, grief, eating concerns, anger, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Reimi’s approach is practical and person-focused. She listens without judgment and helps people talk through what’s troubling them. Sessions often include behavior change work, problem solving, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness exercises.
She also brings experience working with athletes and parents of athletes. That work concentrates on performance under pressure, self-regulation, visualization, and cognitive strategies to manage competitive stress. The emphasis is on usable skills athletes can apply in practice and competition.
In sessions about anger or resentment, Reimi helps people notice patterns, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice alternative responses. She aims to replace repeated reactions with clearer choices and calmer responses. Work on anger is mixed with stress management, communication skills, and coping strategies.
Reimi describes her role as collaborative coaching and counseling. She guides problem solving and offers concrete tools to practice between sessions. People leave with steps they can try right away and ideas to track progress over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Reimi uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive restructuring involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative ways of thinking. This helps with anger, anxiety, and persistent negative beliefs. Behavior modification targets specific actions and routines to reduce reactive responses and build healthier habits. Clients work on clear steps to change what they do in stressful moments. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment awareness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Reimi treats this as a collaborative process where client goals, current problems, and daily routines guide which techniques are used. She will check what feels doable and adjust methods if something isn’t working well.
