Raquel Aiello , LPC

Raquel Aiello is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. As an LPC - a credential indicating a licensed mental health counselor - she has focused much of her work on youth and on conducting mental health evaluations since obtaining her license in 2014.

Her clinical journey began in 2004 in a day program serving adults with chronic mental illness, and in 2006 she moved to work with at-risk youth involved in the juvenile court system. After earning her LPC, she worked with youths who displayed fire-setting behaviors and continued to develop expertise with trauma-related concerns.

Over the years she has worked with clients coping with trauma, major life changes, relationship and career transitions, and a range of diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and conduct disorders. Her experience spans issues related to self-esteem, family dynamics, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and compassion fatigue, among others.

Raquel understands that beginning therapy can feel difficult for many people. She aims to work alongside clients on the areas of life and mental health they wish to improve, proceeding at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual.

Existential Therapy Meets Flexible Online Care

Existential therapy helps people explore meaning, choice, and personal values in the face of life’s uncertainties. It invites reflection on identity, responsibility, and what matters most, and can be especially useful for clients navigating big transitions, questions about purpose, or identity-related concerns.

In practice, existential work often focuses on helping clients name their priorities and make choices that align with their values. For those dealing with trauma, relationship shifts, career decisions, or questions about intimacy and identity, this approach supports thoughtful, values-based action rather than quick fixes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist will shape the focus and methods used so sessions feel purposeful and relevant.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide practical flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to continue steady progress even when in-person visits are not possible.
