About Raquel

Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with five years of experience working in Florida. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, depression, addictions, grief, and related concerns. She also lists focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Raquel takes a straightforward, down-to-earth approach in sessions. She prioritizes respect and direct conversation. In practice she listens to what matters to the client and helps people sort through patterns that started in their family of origin and continue to affect current relationships.

She uses practical methods that invite small changes over time. Techniques include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused steps. These approaches are used to address things like coping with life changes, improving communication, managing anger, and working on self-esteem.

Raquel often focuses on immediate, usable tools. That can mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing short mindfulness exercises, or setting concrete goals between sessions. She also addresses longer-standing patterns tied to early family roles and expectations.

People who come to her may be dealing with grief, addiction, intimacy concerns, or career stress. She asks about what has been tried before and builds on what already works for the person. The aim is straightforward: clearer thinking, better coping skills, and more effective choices in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance of their experience and wants to sort through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress with concrete steps.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces short practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. These techniques can help with stress, sleep issues, and improving emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on how the client responds.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing to suit a client’s schedule and day-to-day responsibilities.
