Raj Chehl

Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 23 years of experience. She practices from Michigan and draws on a wide range of therapeutic methods to help people move toward clearer thinking and healthier relationships. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and relationship concerns.

Raj keeps the work practical and person-focused. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most, identify unhelpful patterns, and try out new ways of relating and coping. She blends talking therapy with techniques that encourage mindfulness and self-awareness.

Her background includes a Master of Arts degree from Oakland University and a Bachelor of Science from North Carolina State University. She is licensed to practice as a LPC in Michigan and Texas, and she is also a certified yoga teacher registered with Yoga Alliance.

In the therapy room she helps clients name reactions and understand how those patterns evolved. Conversations typically cover thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, with attention to practical steps that can be used between sessions. Raj also integrates trauma-informed methods when needed.

Clients come for a range of issues including addiction, parenting strain, intimacy and attachment difficulties, career pressures, and coping with major life changes. She also works with people addressing complex problems such as co-morbidity, dissociation, and domestic violence-related concerns.

Raj approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She supports people as they replace limiting beliefs, build new skills, and move from merely surviving to a more empowered way of living.

How Raj's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and making the session focused on each person's needs. It helps people feel heard and figure out their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. EMDR is a trauma-informed method that uses guided processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Raj will discuss different methods and decide collaboratively which ones match a person's goals and comfort level. This helps shape a plan that fits real-life priorities and timelines.

Before booking, confirm which online session formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules because they can save commuting time and schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Some formats also make shorter check-ins or phone conversations possible when video is difficult. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions can be arranged to suit daily life and therapeutic goals.
