About Raquel

Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW who brings a practical, down-to-earth style to therapy. She emphasizes respect, kindness, and acceptance while helping people take steps toward feeling better. Her manner is straightforward and supportive for those ready to make changes.

She uses a client-centered approach to make sessions focused on the person's needs and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used when helpful to identify patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with stress, anxiety, and mood regulation.

Raquel has five years of experience working with common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also helps people navigate relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strain, and career stress. Her practice includes support for LGBT clients and people dealing with ADHD or compassion fatigue.

Additional areas she addresses include body image, abandonment, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and coping with major life changes or disasters. She also supports people facing chronic illness issues such as cancer and age-related caregiving challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and take place for people located in Florida. The therapist encourages questions up front and works at a steady, realistic pace so clients can try skills between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, validates experience, and helps set goals that matter to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces small, practical experiments and skills to change them. These tools are often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit the client's needs. If something doesn't feel right, the plan can be adjusted in collaboration so sessions stay focused and useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let people practice skills in their usual environment and bring everyday problems into sessions for direct feedback.
