About Helen

Helen Raiani is an LPC in New Jersey with 20 years of clinical experience who draws on multiple therapeutic models to help people manage difficult emotions and life changes.

Background and approach

She uses evidence-based methods to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, and ADHD, while also attending to relationship difficulties, trauma and grief, intimacy and self-esteem challenges, and career or parenting stresses. Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's distinct history and goals.

Her work integrates approaches that promote practical coping skills alongside deeper exploration of attachment patterns and meaning. Clients may find support for issues ranging from chronic illness, caregiver stress, and codependency to body image, communication problems, and commitment concerns.

Helen aims to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can build resilience, clarify values, and develop actionable strategies for everyday living. Therapy with Helen often blends short-term skill-building with longer-term exploration depending on what a client needs.

She offers flexible session formats and frames treatment as a partnership in which goals are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect progress and changing circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Helen integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can help with stress, anxiety, and persistent avoidance. CBT centers on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building, useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Helen works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns, then tailors methods so therapy aligns with what the individual finds most helpful. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan over time to reflect emerging needs and client feedback.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit consistent work on skills and insight into daily life, support ongoing communication between sessions, and accommodate those balancing work, caregiving, or health-related constraints.
