About Raquel
Raquel Aspuru is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a straightforward, compassionate style to therapy. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions feel practical and down to earth. Her approach focuses on respect and acceptance while helping people find clearer ways forward.
Raquel uses a mix of client-centered work and practical strategies to address stress and anxiety. She also helps people manage depression, trauma and abuse, and issues around addiction and grief.
Background and approach
Sessions can include tools for improving sleep, coping with life changes, and addressing intimacy or relationship concerns. Over five years of practice in Florida have shaped a flexible way of working. Raquel draws on cognitive behavioral techniques when patterns and behaviors need shifting.
She pairs those with mindfulness and solution-focused steps for short-term goals and day-to-day relief. Clients may bring concerns about parenting, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, or eating and body-image struggles. Raquel also supports people facing aging and caregiver stress, cancer-related challenges, and other complex situations that involve overlapping problems.
Therapy is offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, follow the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule.
How her approaches fit online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard while they decide their own goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Raquel will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the pace and tools based on what works for each person, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or tools between sessions. These formats give flexibility so people can use the method that fits their schedule and comfort level.
