Raelene Faught

Raelene Faught is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She frames therapy as a place to heal from hurts and to move toward healthier choices and relationships. Her style treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on practical steps people can take to meet real needs.

She has helped people with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and stress. She also works with concerns around parenting, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, and self-esteem. Her practice includes attention to trauma and abuse, as well as related topics such as abandonment, attachment issues, and family of origin problems.

Raelene blends a human-centered approach with cognitive behavioral ideas and trauma-aware techniques. That means sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying small changes to test what works. She emphasizes clear goals and steady steps rather than long, abstract discussions.

Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. She listens for what matters most to the person and helps set realistic goals. When helpful, she uses solution-focused tools and motivational interviewing to support change.

Her background includes work across a wide range of life challenges, from coping with crises and disaster to issues like codependency, dissociation, and first responder concerns. She welcomes conversations about practical steps for healing and change and encourages people to pick the next step that feels right to them.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. Online work can focus on patterns in connection and help people try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and perspective; the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters most so the client leads the pace and focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests practical changes; online sessions often include homework and brief skill practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they will try methods and adjust based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific 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 shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional from different locations, which can help people continue care during moves or travel.
