Raelene Faught, LCPC

Raelene Faught is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people heal from past hurts and make healthier choices in relationships and daily life. Her style is straightforward and respectful, and she treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Raelene commonly helps people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, and the stress that comes with major life changes. She also works with issues like trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy problems, addictions, and self-esteem struggles. Additional focuses include body image, adoption and foster-care concerns, attachment issues, and communication difficulties.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral work with attachment-informed and client-centered methods. That means she often helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthens how they connect with others, and centers sessions on each person's goals and values. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also part of her toolkit when people want change and clear next steps.

Raelene aims to create practical, usable steps clients can try between sessions. She pays attention to how past wounds affect present choices and looks for ways to build healthier patterns. People who want a collaborative, goal-oriented therapist who also listens and validates their experience may find her approach a good match.

Sessions are offered in English and Raelene accepts international clients. She practices via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Raelene uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and to strengthen safer ways of connecting with others. Finally, her client-centered approach keeps sessions focused on each person's goals and values while offering validation and practical support.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raelene collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts techniques over time based on feedback so the plan stays relevant and useful for the person she is working with.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for more in-depth conversational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or stepping through small problems between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions or when travel is involved.
