About Helen

Helen Raiani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and anger. She also supports people dealing with addictions, attention difficulties, parenting concerns, and sleep or eating issues.

In sessions she uses practical, talk-based methods to help people manage intense feelings and everyday challenges. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take committed steps. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns or early loss shape current reactions.

Helen often helps people who struggle with building self-esteem, handling work pressure, or coping with life change. She works with those who feel overwhelmed by resentment, repeated arguments, or a short temper, and with people affected by trauma and complicated grief. Conversations focus on specific skills, clear goals, and small behavior changes that can reduce reactivity.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with practical exercises. Sessions commonly include reflection on patterns, practice of coping strategies, and homework to try between meetings. Jungian concepts may be brought in to explore personal meaning when that fits the person’s interests.

Helen speaks English and practices in New Jersey. She asks clients to pick a first session by completing the site's matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the online options button. Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches translate to online work

Helen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful struggles and move toward values-based actions. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. Attachment-based ideas help identify how early relationship experiences affect current reactions and closeness with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together the client and therapist choose methods and adjust them over time based on what is helping and what is practical for daily life.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online options should be checked through the site's matching and scheduling flow. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, and daily routines, and some approaches lend themselves to short check-ins or workbook-style tasks between sessions.
