Background and approach
Sessions often include gentle motivation, education about coping skills, and collaborative problem solving. Raquel uses Client-Centered techniques to make space for each person's story and priorities. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Solution-Focused Therapy appears in sessions as goal-oriented steps that build forward momentum. She has particular experience with trauma and abuse, postpartum depression, sexual assault, process and sex addiction, and self-harm concerns. Raquel also addresses ADHD, mood disorders, attachment difficulties, and complex family problems when individuals bring those issues into therapy.
People can expect a therapist who listens, keeps a light touch when appropriate, and helps translate insight into action. Raquel tailors conversations and plans to match each person’s goals, preferences, and practical needs.
How Raquel’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow your priorities and help you set the pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practices specific skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and builds momentum with concrete goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she will suggest methods to try and adjust them as you go, so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
