About Raj
Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Michigan and Texas with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, parenting challenges, and intimacy-related issues.
She describes her role as a collaborator who helps people name what is happening and try practical changes. Sessions include talking through reactions, thoughts, and feelings about people in your life and about yourself. She uses a mix of approaches and draws on different methods as needed rather than relying on a single tool.
Her background includes a Master of Arts degree from Oakland University and a Bachelor of Science from North Carolina State University. Raj also has experience bringing movement and breathwork into her work through her training as a yoga teacher registered with Yoga Alliance. That experience informs how she helps clients notice bodily responses and regulate stress.
In practice she combines person-centered work with cognitive and existential ideas, and she also uses EMDR and relationship-focused tools when they fit a person’s goals. She says this lets her address symptoms like anxiety or depression while also looking at patterns in relationships and attachment that drive repeated conflicts.
People who come for help with parenting, blended family issues, caregiver stress, or adult relationship pain will find practical focus on communication, boundaries, and coping skills. She speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and she accepts international clients when language and logistics allow.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Raj often combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify their own needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses EMDR for processing trauma when that approach fits a client's needs. EMDR involves guided attention and memory processing to reduce distress linked to traumatic memories and related symptoms.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust based on how the person responds. That means sessions can shift from skill-building to deeper processing as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and homework so they work in a remote setting and fit into everyday life.
