About Raelene

Raelene Faught is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 14 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with parenting strain, relationship problems, trauma and anxiety. Her listed focus areas include family concerns, grief, addictions, mood disorders, ADHD, and related issues such as attachment and communication problems.

Raelene frames therapy around the person in front of her. She treats people as the expert on their own lives and supports practical change. Sessions focus on learning, healing from past hurts, and moving toward healthier choices in relationships and parenting.

Her background blends humanistic, trauma-informed ideas with cognitive behavioral strategies. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns, and also uses skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She lists Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among her approaches.

In sessions she aims to help people notice patterns that come from family of origin, abandonment, or adoption and then practice different ways of responding. She also works with issues like body image, codependency, dissociation, and compassion fatigue. Practical problem solving and skill practice are common parts of her work.

Raelene accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How attachment and CBT approaches guide online work

Raelene uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early caregiving and relationship patterns affect current behaviors. This approach helps when clients want to understand why they react a certain way with partners or family members and to learn different ways of relating.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which involves listening closely and following the client's priorities. That helps adults set goals that matter to them and feel understood while trying new approaches.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for addressing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practices concrete skills to change patterns over time.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will help identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the approach based on what works for the client. Expect a practical process where both people evaluate progress together.

Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, cut travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt tools to the online setting so sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills.
