About Raelene

Raelene Faught is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 14 years of experience helping people untangle difficult patterns from their past. She works with adults on anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting stress, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Her practice includes attention to family of origin issues and attachment-related struggles when those patterns affect current choices and relationships.

She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and offers clear, practical guidance. Sessions tend to focus on understanding how early family roles and expectations still influence feelings and behavior. Raelene uses conversational, problem-focused work alongside behavior-level tools to help people make different choices in daily life.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral strategies. That means she listens for what matters to the client, then helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape closeness, boundaries, and trust now.

Raelene often supports people coping with the fallout from disrupted relationships, adoption or foster care histories, abandonment concerns, and codependency. She also works with issues such as addiction, self-esteem, eating concerns, anger, and career stress. The aim is practical change - small adjustments that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She accepts people who live in or outside the United States and offers services in English. People who want to begin work with her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How Raelene’s approaches translate to online work

Raelene draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships influence current closeness and boundaries. This approach helps when clients want to understand why they repeat relationship patterns or struggle with trust and intimacy.

She also uses client-centered work that focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person in front of her. That approach supports people who need to be heard while they make practical changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another part of her practice. CBT targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete skills people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raelene will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of these methods best fits their goals and preferences. The plan can shift over time as needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match a client's schedule and comfort, and this therapist will discuss practical scheduling and session length when you begin.
