Raelene Faught

Raelene Faught is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She frames therapy as a process of healing from hurts and making healthier choices. Her work centers on helping people notice what they need and take practical steps toward those needs.

Her background includes supporting people through anxiety, life transitions, relationship strain, parenting concerns, trauma, and eating and body-image issues. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and a humanistic, client-centered stance to guide sessions. That means she listens first and helps clients test new ways of thinking and acting.

Sessions are collaborative and aimed at learning skills that fit day-to-day life. She emphasizes practical tools and small changes that add up over time. Conversations often focus on patterns, coping skills, and choices that improve relationships and emotional well-being.

Raelene also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current struggles. She might look at how past losses or abandonment affect trust and closeness now. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want clear steps and goals to move forward.

People who choose this approach can expect a respectful, down-to-earth style. She views each person as the expert on their life and aims to help them learn, heal, and change in ways that make sense for their situation.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships affect current bonds and feelings. In online sessions this can mean talking through relationship patterns, exploring trust, and practicing new ways of connecting with others. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities; the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to set goals and pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses clear exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and build coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. This is a team effort that balances goals, preferences, and what’s working or not working in everyday life.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-in conversations when needed. It also lets people use therapeutic tools and skills at times that match their routines, supporting steady progress without requiring major disruptions.
