About Raquel
Raquel Aiello is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who focuses on anxiety and related concerns. She supports people facing stress, low self-esteem, relationship strain, mood changes, and work or life transitions. Her plain, steady approach helps people take the first step when therapy feels hard to begin.
Raquel has seven years of experience as an LPC and many more years working in mental health settings. Early in her career she worked in a day program for adults with chronic mental illness and later with at-risk youth involved with the juvenile court system.
Background and approach
After earning her license she worked with youths who presented with fire-setting behavior and has since seen many people with trauma histories. She commonly sees people struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and conduct-related concerns alongside trauma, grief, and major life change.
She also addresses intimacy and relationship problems, body image and eating issues, and the stresses that can come from caregiving and work-related burnout. Raquel lists a range of focus areas including attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, and sexual culture topics such as kink and BDSM.
In sessions she aims to move at each person’s pace and to help them name what matters most. She uses Existential Therapy to explore values, meaning, and choices when people feel stuck or overwhelmed. The work is conversational and reflective, with practical steps when they fit the situation.
Raquel conducts online sessions and can work with clients who want to address anxiety, coping skills, career questions, and complex life changes. She invites people to start with a brief matching questionnaire to find a good fit and then schedule sessions that match their needs.
Existential approaches and online options
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and how people make decisions in the face of life’s challenges. It can be useful for people feeling stuck by anxiety, life transitions, identity questions, or questions about purpose and responsibility.Raquel pairs that perspective with practical conversation. She helps clients clarify values and identify steps they can take that match their goals. Figuring out which approach fits is collaborative - she will work with each person to find what feels useful based on needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for a full conversation and reading visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or write through issues on their own schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around life and work obligations while exploring anxiety and other concerns.
