Professional statement

Raelene Faught is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois, who works with individuals between the ages of 25-50, with a focus on supporting relationships. Many of her clients have worked to find balance between understanding and setting boundaries. Raelene is particularly sensitive to clients realizing the likelihood of neurodivergence in their lives, whether AD/HD in themselves, their partners or their children.

Raelene's approach is founded in Client Centered Theory, which works to understand who clients are and what they need. That way the changes they make are motivated from within and more likely to stick. She works to help clients understand where their limits are and to gently communicate them and learn to work within them.

Raelene is committed to understanding and respecting clients. Her style is interactive and non-judgmental. A trauma-informed therapist, Raelene is mindful of the influence of past experiences on current difficulties, and works closely with clients to practice calmly considering their emotions, thoughts and choices.

Raelene's first task when starting with a new client is to understand the story that brings them to therapy. She creates a virtual environment that feels safe, calm, and warm. As a seasoned telehealth provider, she offers the convenience of remote sessions to help make therapy accessible to even the busiest professional, parent or caretaker.


Message to clients

Hi there, the decision to start therapy can take awhile for some of us. Therapy can feel risky and taking the first step is difficult. When we feel out of options, then we google "online therapist who takes my insurance."

While talking with me it's important that you are respected and your concerns are the priority. We will sort out your goals for your life and use both time-tested and modern therapy theories to move you in the direction you want to go.

Most of us start out knowing we at least want to feel better. Or know that we want to act and "be" better. And sometimes we want our family, partner or children to act better. Whatever it is that you need, we'll come up with some ideas and actionable steps in a respectful, supportive environment.

At first I will ask questions to understand your story, current situation and perspective. For many people, simply being heard, understood and respected is enough to feel better and start doing better. If you need more then I will offer some solutions either to help manage your thoughts, feelings or behavior around the things that cause you distress.
