About Raj
Raj Chehl is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 23 years of clinical experience. She practices from Michigan and brings a broad, practical approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief, and life transitions. She keeps sessions focused and clear.
Raj uses everyday language and helps clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior. She draws from several ways of working to match what each person needs in the room.
How Raj works
Her background includes a Master of Arts from Oakland University and a Bachelor of Science from North Carolina State University. She also holds licensure as an LPC in Michigan and Texas. These credentials inform a steady, experienced presence in sessions.
In practice she blends client-centered care with cognitive and experiential methods. That means she listens first, helps people reframe unhelpful thoughts, and uses targeted techniques when trauma or deep relational wounds come up. She also brings mindfulness and movement practices into therapy when helpful.
Raj commonly helps with addictions, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar challenges, parenting stress, intimacy matters, and career or life-change coaching. She also addresses attachment wounds, codependency, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and Raj works with clients internationally.
People who want practical steps, thoughtful reflection, and steady support often find her style a good fit.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people name their concerns, set goals, and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, relationship questions, and building self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Sessions often include clear skills and small homework tasks to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, targets distress linked to traumatic memories. It uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of painful memories and the reactions they trigger. This method is often chosen when trauma or abuse is a central issue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Raj will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person feels ready to try.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or reduce bandwidth needs. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or a written record of tools and reminders. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel.
