About Raquel

Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW who brings a warm, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful, helping people take practical steps toward feeling better. She emphasizes kindness and acceptance while supporting clients through hard moments.

Raquel focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship concerns. She also works with topics such as grief, intimacy, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and career stress. Money and financial issues are included among her areas of focus and can be discussed in session.

Her work blends Client-Centered methods with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients notice patterns and build new habits. In sessions she listens first, and then helps people try small, achievable changes.

With five years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, Raquel aims to make therapy feel manageable. She uses plain language and straightforward goals instead of jargon. Sessions are meant to be collaborative, with time spent on what matters most to the client.

Raquel offers services in Florida and conducts therapy in English and Spanish. She encourages people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out to consider taking one step toward support. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Raquel uses Client-Centered Therapy to place the person at the center of the work. That means she listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and helps shape goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful life events.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Raquel will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to prioritize based on goals, needs, and preferences. She starts by listening, then suggests approaches and practical exercises to try between sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness practices and CBT worksheets during and between sessions to support progress.
