RW Portrait of Reimi Willett

Reimi Willett

Client-centered counselor blending skills and compassion

About Reimi

Reimi Willett is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, family and parenting challenges, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship difficulties, grief, eating struggles, anger, coaching needs, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 12 years of hands-on counseling experience and a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston College, she blends practical skills with an empathic presence to help clients navigate both short-term obstacles and longer-term growth.

Her approach centers on the client and emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental listening while offering tools for behavior change, problem solving, cognitive restructuring, and mindfulness practice. She also applies performance-focused strategies for athletes, teaching self-regulation, visualization, and cognitive management to support competition-related pressure and confidence.

Sessions are available in English and Japanese, and Reimi brings an accessible, collaborative style aimed at helping people find workable strategies that fit their lives.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Reimi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building practical coping skills. Cognitive restructuring involves noticing and gently challenging negative thought patterns to reduce anxiety and improve emotional responses. Mindfulness-based strategies teach simple attention and breathing practices to increase present-moment awareness and support self-regulation during stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adjust methods over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to attend regularly, use skills between meetings, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the client while working toward their goals.
