About Raquel
Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW who offers straightforward, practical therapy. She keeps sessions down to earth and focuses on helping people take real steps toward feeling better. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she aims to make starting therapy less intimidating for someone under stress or facing big life changes.
She works with common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep problems. She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges related to parenting, career, and self-esteem. Raquel lists ADHD, compassion fatigue, and bipolar among the focus areas she addresses as well.
Her approach is collaborative and person-centered. She listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often involve practical steps you can use between meetings, not only conversation.
Raquel uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centered methods and solution-focused strategies. She also incorporates motivational interviewing when people need help clarifying goals or making changes. These approaches are used to help with symptoms, routines, and day-to-day coping rather than to promise specific outcomes.
She has five years of experience and practices in Florida. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. If a reader wants to begin, they can use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Raquel blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and make practical changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and helps create step-by-step plans to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep disruption.She also uses mindfulness strategies to help people build awareness of moment-to-moment experience and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can be short and easy to practice between sessions, which appeals to people juggling busy schedules. Raquel will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include easier scheduling around work or family commitments, shorter check-in times when needed, and avoiding travel time. Some formats are better when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter environment is available, so she will help determine the best way to meet your needs during the matching and scheduling process.
