About Raquel
Raquel Aiello is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and trauma. She often supports concerns around self-esteem, career shifts, relationship difficulties, and problems with sleep or eating. Raquel aims to make the first step feel manageable and meets clients at a comfortable pace.
She began working in mental health in 2004 in a day program for adults with chronic mental illness.
Background and approach
In 2006 she moved into services for at-risk youth connected to the juvenile court system. After earning her LPC in 2014 she focused on youth with fire-setting behaviors and broader trauma-related needs. Her practice centers on helping people talk through life changes and patterns that cause pain.
Sessions typically look at how personal choices, values, and meaning connect to day-to-day struggles. Raquel uses Existential Therapy to help people clarify what matters and to make decisions that fit their goals. She works with individual adults who bring issues like bipolar disorder, co-morbid diagnoses, impulsivity, codependency, and attachment concerns.
Practical coping skills are paired with conversations about long-term direction and identity. Raquel pays attention to relationship dynamics and intimacy-related worries as part of healing. Her approach is steady and straightforward.
She focuses on clear steps you can try between sessions. If you want a therapist who balances real-world tools with deeper questions about purpose, Raquel offers that blend.
Existential approaches and online care
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people facing life transitions, identity questions, and feelings of emptiness by encouraging reflection on values and personal goals.In practice this means conversations about what matters to you, combined with practical steps to align daily life with those values. For issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns this approach pairs exploration of purpose with concrete coping strategies.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is flexible and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be convenient for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing contact and reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
