About Raj
Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship problems, and addictive behaviors. Her work also covers parenting strain, intimacy concerns, career stress, and challenges tied to trauma and loss.
Raj uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients notice what patterns are holding them back. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning new ways to respond to stress, and trying out healthier habits between meetings.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and focused on each person’s real-life needs. She draws on client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s perspective, and on cognitive behavioral strategies that target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Raj also uses EMDR for people processing traumatic memories and Imago ideas when relationships are a core concern.
Mindfulness practices and breathing work are tools she often brings into sessions. Many people appreciate that she combines different methods rather than sticking to one approach. That allows her to tailor work to what a person needs now - learning skills for acute anxiety, working through grief, or rebuilding trust after hurt.
Raj will help set small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable. She offers sessions in English, Hindi, and Punjabi and accepts international clients. Therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Prospective clients start by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience at the center and focuses on listening, validating, and following the client's pace. Online sessions let a therapist and client reflect on current struggles and set clear, practical goals together.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce distress. In remote sessions CBT often uses homework, worksheets, and short between-session check-ins to practice new skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories; parts of EMDR can be adapted for video work under careful guidance when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raj will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in on what is helping and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls are useful for detailed work and watching nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, coaching moments, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum.
