About Raquel
Raquel Aiello is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. She works with concerns like depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, relationship problems, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Raquel uses straightforward talk and practical steps so people can begin feeling steadier soon.
She began her career in 2004 supporting adults with chronic mental illness in a day program.
Background and approach
In 2006 she moved into services for at-risk youth involved with the juvenile court system. After earning her LPC in 2014 she focused on mental health evaluations and on youth presenting fire-setting behaviors. Much of her work centers on trauma, coping with major life changes, and relationship concerns.
She also supports people dealing with career transitions, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue. Raquel pays attention to patterns like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, codependency, and impulsivity. Her approach is direct and conversational.
She helps people name what matters, test small changes, and build coping tools that fit daily life. Sessions are paced to match each person’s comfort level rather than rushing to conclusions. Raquel draws on seven years of licensed practice and longer experience across community programs and youth services.
She offers sessions in English and works with clients in New Jersey who prefer online formats such as video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Approaches Raquel lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Existential approaches and online care
Existential Therapy looks at the big questions in life - meaning, choice, responsibility, and how we find purpose. It helps people who feel stuck after major changes, who struggle with identity, or who want clearer direction amid anxiety or depression. Raquel uses this approach to help people name values and priorities, and to make choices that line up with what matters to them. She also pairs that work with practical coping strategies so clients have tools for stressful moments and for managing anger. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Raquel works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and comfort level. She will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the work as needs change. Online sessions make regular work easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins, quick coping reminders, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions.Questions people ask about Raquel
