About Raj
Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, depression, addictions, and issues related to family and intimacy. Raj also addresses blended family issues and attachment-related concerns that often arise when households merge.
Her style is grounded and straightforward. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She draws on client-centered principles to follow what the person brings, and she uses cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Raj’s background includes a Master of Arts from Oakland University and a Bachelor of Science from North Carolina State University. She is an LPC in Michigan and Texas and has wide experience across mood disorders, trauma, anger, and relationship conflict. She also brings additional practices such as mindfulness and movement-informed work into sessions when relevant.
In the room she helps people name patterns, try small changes, and test new ways of interacting. For someone navigating stepfamily routines, co-parenting with an ex, or loyalty conflicts, she aims to make issues clearer and more manageable. Meetings move at a practical pace and focus on what the client wants to change.
Clients can expect a mix of listening, reflection, and specific techniques drawn from approaches like CBT and EMDR when appropriate. The goal is to build skills that make daily life easier and relationships clearer rather than to promise a particular outcome.
How Raj’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what the client brings. Online sessions can keep that focus by prioritizing the person’s immediate concerns and pacing the conversation to what feels doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It adapts well to remote sessions because homework and skill practice fit into daily routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to address trauma symptoms by processing distressing memories; when appropriate, elements of EMDR can be integrated into remote sessions with clear planning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize CBT tools, EMDR elements, or client-centered exploration depending on the presenting issue and personal preference.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, not needing travel time, or choosing a session type that reduces eye contact when that feels better. Licensed professionals can use these practical arrangements to help therapy fit day-to-day needs without promising any specific result.
