About Raelene
Raelene Faught is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She describes her work as helping people heal from hurts and move toward healthier choices and relationships. She has supported people dealing with anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, relationship strain, life transitions, and other concerns such as codependency and grief.
Her style centers on treating the client as the expert in their own life. She listens first, then helps people learn skills and make changes that fit their goals. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what a person wants to do differently.
Raelene blends humanistic, trauma-informed, and cognitive behavioral approaches in her work. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions while also teaching concrete strategies to manage thoughts and behavior. Motivational and solution-focused ideas guide shorter-term goals and step-by-step progress.
She has experience across a wide range of concerns including addiction, depression, ADHD, attachment and family-of-origin issues, and compassion fatigue. People looking to address intimacy, communication, or body-image worries may also find this approach helpful.
Raelene aims to meet each person where they are and co-create a plan for change. The emphasis is on clear steps, learning new patterns, and strengthening relationships that matter to the client.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Raelene uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and family-of-origin concerns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person in front of her, listening closely and following the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, provides practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process usually begins by talking about what the client wants to change and testing practical strategies together.
