About Reimi
Reimi Willett is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor practicing in Illinois. She brings 12 years of direct counseling experience and a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Boston College. Reimi keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her and listens without judgment.
She uses straightforward tools like behavior change work, problem solving, and mindfulness to help people manage everyday stressors. Parents and caregivers will find practical strategies for parenting and family concerns.
Background and approach
Reimi also addresses anxiety, stress, self-esteem, grief, anger, and eating concerns in clear, step-by-step ways. She offers coaching-style support for performance under pressure, using visualization and self-regulation techniques to build confidence in athletes. Her approach emphasizes working together to identify small, manageable changes.
That can mean adjusting routines, trying new coping skills, or restructuring unhelpful thoughts. Sessions move at a pace set by each person and focus on skills that can be put into practice right away. Reimi speaks English and Japanese, and she brings real-world experience balancing a long-term role raising an athlete alongside her counseling work.
She frames therapy as a collaborative effort aimed at clearer thinking and steadier responses to life’s challenges. Background and approach: Reimi combines cognitive techniques with mindfulness and practical behavior strategies. She helps clients break problems into do-able steps, practices skills in session, and then adapts those skills to daily life.
Her coaching work for athletes includes cognitive management and visualization to support performance. The goal is steady, usable changes rather than quick fixes.
Online approaches that focus on doable skills
Reimi uses a mix of cognitive techniques and mindfulness-based work to help people shift how they respond to stress. Cognitive approaches involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and increase confidence. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to lower immediate reactivity and improve focus.She also uses behavior-focused strategies that break problems into small steps. That might mean trying new routines, practicing a skill in session, and then adapting it to daily life. These methods are helpful for parenting challenges, stress, performance pressure, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Reimi collaborates with each person to choose or adjust techniques based on needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what helps and change course when something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions around busy schedules and use short, focused contacts when that works best. Remote options can support ongoing skill practice and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
