About Raquel
Raquel Aspuru is a licensed clinical social worker who offers straightforward, respectful therapy. She uses a down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people take practical steps toward feeling better. Raquel speaks English and Spanish and practices from Florida as an LCSW.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She listens first, then helps set clear goals. Raquel draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.
Background and approach
She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to build small, manageable changes. Raquel has five years of clinical experience supporting people through relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to addiction. She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, career questions, and coping with life transitions.
Concerns such as ADHD, self-esteem, anger, and compassion fatigue are part of her practice too. In sessions she aims for honest conversation and practical tools. Clients can expect to talk through patterns, try new ways of handling problems, and set short-term steps to track progress.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs extra support finding internal reasons to change. She offers multiple online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's routine.
Raquel focuses on making therapy useful and approachable for people ready to take the next step.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s needs and goals first. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps shape goals that feel doable. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; online sessions can include short exercises, thought records, and action plans to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan when something isn’t working. Clients help set the pace and choose which strategies feel most useful for their situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not desirable, and live chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent progress over time.
