01About Raelene
Raelene Faught is a licensed clinician in Illinois with 14 years of experience helping people heal from hurts and make healthier choices. She frames therapy as practical work aimed at meeting real needs in relationships and daily life. Her style emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration so people feel heard while they try new ways of coping.
She often helps people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and stress from life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, and body image or eating concerns. Parenting, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with attention and self-esteem are also areas she addresses. Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques.
That means she pays attention to how relationships shape reactions, follows the person's goals, and uses straightforward skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when the work calls for short-term change and clearer next steps. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
Raelene helps clients identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings. She also works on understanding patterns that repeat in relationships and daily choices, so new responses become easier to use. Raelene accepts English-speaking clients and is open to international clients.
She practices under the Illinois LCPC credential and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work.

04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions. In sessions this looks like talking through relationship histories, noticing repeated responses, and practicing new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and loneliness.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experience. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own solutions rather than giving directives. This approach is useful for building self-trust and clarity about next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online work this often means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying experiments between sessions, and learning concrete skills to reduce anxiety or depression.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raelene will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Over a few sessions she adjusts the plan so the work stays practical and focused on what matters most to the client.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, emotional support between sessions, and tracking progress without scheduling a full call. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
