About Raj
Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than two decades of experience helping people make practical changes in their lives. She draws on counseling, mindfulness, and movement practices to support emotional balance. Raj speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi and works from Michigan while accepting international clients.
Her approach is straightforward. Sessions focus on exploring what matters to the client, clarifying needs, and testing new ways of thinking and behaving.
Background and approach
She uses tools from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Raj also brings trauma-focused work into sessions when needed, using techniques designed to reduce the hold of painful memories and to help people feel more present in daily life.
She pays attention to relationship dynamics and intimacy issues, offering ways to repair connection and improve communication. Many clients seek help with anxiety, depression, grief, addictive behaviors, and stress related to parenting or caregiving. Raj also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and blended family tensions.
Her style balances direct skill-building with reflective conversation. In practice she offers several formats: video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session scheduling is set after a brief matching process.
Raj aims to meet each person where they are and work at a pace that feels manageable.
How Raj's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people name what they want to change; it supports issues like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and general life stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to reduce the intensity of painful memories and to help people feel less overwhelmed by past events.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Raj will discuss options, try methods collaboratively, and adjust based on what’s helping and what feels comfortable. Clients help set goals and the plan evolves to match their needs and preferences.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in, while live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need short, timely support. These options give practical flexibility for ongoing work on stress, relationships, trauma recovery, and skill building.
