About Raj
Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than two decades of clinical experience. She practices from Michigan and brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, addiction concerns, and codependency among other life challenges.
Raj uses plain language in sessions and emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then helps clients identify patterns that cause pain. Conversations often move toward small, doable changes that improve daily life and relationships. She draws on counseling methods that address thoughts, feelings, and behavior together.
Her background includes a Master of Arts from Oakland University and a Bachelor of Science from North Carolina State University, along with a long clinical career across settings. She also completed yoga teacher registration with Yoga Alliance and incorporates mindful practices when useful to support emotional balance.
In practice she combines several therapeutic styles to fit each person’s needs. That can mean working on how thinking patterns shape mood, processing traumatic memories, or improving communication in close relationships. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and replace limiting beliefs with practical options for change.
Raj works with adults on a range of issues including mood disorders, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, eating and addiction issues, and career or life transitions. She offers support in English, Hindi, and Punjabi and accepts international clients.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can explore feelings and decide on steps that fit their goals; this helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns like codependency.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories so they have less emotional hold. It can be useful for people coping with past abuse, accidents, or overwhelming events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raj will discuss client goals, preferences, and history to decide together which methods to try first. The plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Confirm session formats before you book, since the biography does not list them. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients use voice-only options if they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework to work well at a distance, and Raj tailors interventions so they are practical for each person’s daily life.
