About Raquel

Raquel Aiello is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey who focuses on a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, career transitions, and stress management.

Background and approach

With seven years as an LPC and earlier experience dating back to 2004, she has worked in settings from day programs for adults with chronic mental illness to juvenile court systems, gaining broad exposure to complex clinical presentations and behavioral challenges.

Her clinical background includes work with youth at risk, clients involved with fire-setting behaviors, and people navigating mood disorders such as bipolar, as well as co-occurring difficulties like impulsivity, codependency, and eating-related concerns.

Raquel draws on existential therapy principles to help clients explore meaning, personal responsibility, and values while addressing practical symptoms like sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. She aims to move at a pace that feels comfortable to each person and to build a collaborative relationship that supports realistic change and improved functioning.

Existential-informed Online Therapy and Flexible Care

Raquel uses existential therapy to help clients examine questions of meaning, values, and personal responsibility; this approach supports individuals facing life transitions, identity concerns, and distress that stems from feeling stuck or disconnected. She integrates this perspective with attention to symptom management for issues like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related reactions so discussions remain grounded and applicable to daily life.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Raquel works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time rather than relying on a single technique. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to the person's needs and fosters a working relationship aimed at realistic, meaningful change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, while allowing clients to select the format that best supports their comfort and engagement in treatment.
