About Raj
Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience practicing in Michigan. She talks with people about stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, addictions, and family concerns. She also works with intimacy and parenting issues and supports people from LGBT communities. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, and Punjabi.
Raj uses practical, person-focused methods in sessions. She starts by listening to how family roles and childhood patterns still affect daily life. Then she helps people clarify what they want to change and practices straightforward ways to respond differently. Conversations are direct and focused on what the person can try between sessions.
Her background includes a Master of Arts from Oakland University and a Bachelor of Science from North Carolina State University. She is credentialed as an LPC in Michigan and Texas and has worked with a wide range of concerns over two decades. That experience informs how she helps people handle life transitions, codependency, attachment questions, and blended family challenges.
Raj draws on a mix of approaches to fit the situation. She uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, EMDR for processing distress, and relationship-focused methods such as Imago ideas. Mindfulness and elements from yoga inform breathing and grounding techniques when they help.
People typically come to her to understand how family of origin patterns shape their decisions now. She helps people notice those patterns, test new behaviors, and build clearer communication. To begin, follow the site's steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they fit everyday life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their experience, encouraging clear self-expression and practical problem solving. It helps when someone wants space to sort out feelings and make personal choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, or relationship patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing distressing memories through a structured sequence of steps and may be used when past events continue to cause strong reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to try. That decision is revisited as needed so the approach matches your changing needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work breaks or family schedules and useful when quieter surroundings are available. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let someone avoid travel. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, client-centered conversation, and certain EMDR protocols to remote sessions when appropriate, and the therapist will explain what to expect during the first appointment.
