Raj Chehl, LPC

Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her work. She practices from Michigan and speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi. Raj combines traditional counseling with complementary methods to help people make real change in their lives.

Her approach centers on listening and helping people name what matters to them. Sessions focus on understanding reactions, clarifying goals, and trying new ways of relating to others and to oneself. She emphasizes practical steps people can use between sessions.

Over 23 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, intimacy issues, and parenting strain. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment problems, and challenges tied to blended families and caregiving stress.

Raj uses an integrative mix of methods rather than a single technique. She draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, existential ideas, EMDR, and Imago relationship work to match the needs of each person. Her background also includes a Master of Arts degree and training as a registered yoga teacher, which she weaves into sessions when appropriate.

People who meet with Raj often want a collaborative process that blends practical tools with deeper self-understanding. She aims to help clients move from coping to greater choice and agency in relationships and daily life.

How Raj’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping a person name what matters. Online sessions can use this approach to center a client's concerns and priorities while building a working plan together.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior. In an online setting CBT tools like thought records, behavior experiments, and skill coaching can be taught and practiced between sessions for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help people process distressing memories and strong reactions. When EMDR is used in remote work, the therapist adapts pacing and techniques to fit the online session and the client’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raj will help you decide which methods match your goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Some people find remote meetings easier to schedule around school, work, or caregiving. If you need specifics about session formats, confirm the current options before booking so you know how appointments will be conducted.
