About Raquel
Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW who offers straightforward, warm support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. She uses an approachable style that aims to make difficult conversations feel manageable. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and take place online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging.
Raquel focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are introduced to ease overwhelm and improve focus when needed. Her work also includes short-term, goal-oriented methods like solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing. These approaches are useful for people who want clear, achievable changes - for example improving sleep, managing anger, or addressing addictive behaviors.
Raquel aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her rather than applying a single method to everyone. Clients often bring concerns about relationships, grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, career stress, or chronic health challenges. Raquel listens for what matters most and helps set practical, step-by-step goals.
Conversations include skills practice and small experiments to test what works in daily life. With five years of clinical experience in Florida, Raquel combines empathy with a direct, down-to-earth manner. She encourages people to take gradual steps toward healthier routines and clearer thinking.
To begin, clients use an online matching process and then schedule sessions that fit their lives.
How Raquel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Raquel combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people manage symptoms and build useful habits. Client-centered work means the therapist starts by hearing what matters to the client and shaping sessions around their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Raquel discusses options and tailors methods based on a client's needs, goals, and day-to-day routine. She often mixes approaches so clients get both understanding and concrete skills, and she checks in to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and teaching exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when video bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support short check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing prompts between sessions. These options help people access consistent care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
