About Raj
Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Michigan with 23 years of experience. She blends practical tools with thoughtful listening to help people move from merely coping to feeling more empowered and purposeful in day-to-day life. Raj speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi and welcomes clients from other countries as well.
Raj frames therapy as a step-by-step process. She helps people name their needs, notice unhelpful patterns, and try new ways of relating and behaving. Sessions aim to replace limiting beliefs with more useful perspectives so people can shift from surviving to thriving.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science from North Carolina State University and a Master of Arts from Oakland University. She is a Michigan and Texas LPC and also has a registered Yoga Alliance teaching credential, which she draws on to include breath and body awareness in her work.
Raj uses several evidence-based approaches depending on each person’s situation. She works with cognitive tools to change thinking, explores meaning and values, and uses targeted trauma-focused methods when appropriate. She also brings relational methods for intimacy and communication concerns.
Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family challenges, and coping with life changes including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her style is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on usable steps between sessions.
People who choose Raj usually want clear goals, gentle challenge, and methods they can try outside the session. She invites prospective clients to consider their goals and begin with a short matching questionnaire to see if this approach fits.
Therapeutic approaches and what online therapy offers
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear listening and respect for each person's goals. It helps people clarify what matters most and build confidence to make choices that fit their values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It gives short, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and develop healthier habits for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with memories that keep causing distress. When used, it aims to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and the reactions they trigger.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, past treatment, and what techniques feel comfortable. Together they pick a path and adjust it as needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to work with a therapist who speaks your language. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for applying tools directly to daily life and for continuing care during transitions.
