About Raquel

Raquel Aspuru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience practicing in Florida. She offers straightforward, down-to-earth therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, addiction, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Raquel describes her style as real and respectful, and she works with people who want practical ways to manage difficult feelings and get unstuck.

Her approach centers on listening first. She uses client-centered methods to hear what matters to each person and to set goals together. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help spot unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques round out her toolkit when short-term steps are useful.

In practical terms she helps people name patterns of thinking and interacting that make anger, anxiety, or low mood worse. She offers clear strategies to change small daily habits and communication choices. This includes ways to handle resentment, workplace frustration, or recurring family conflict without escalating.

Raquel also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change, including those working on addiction or lifestyle shifts. She explains options simply and helps people choose next steps they can actually try between sessions.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and her work uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She does not accept international clients.

How her approaches translate to online work

Raquel uses client-centered therapy to listen for what matters most and to shape goals with each person. That approach focuses on understanding a person's perspective and building practical next steps that feel doable. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns, and then to practice specific changes that reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk through options with each person and decide together what methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps set clear, measurable steps to try between sessions and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around busy days and checking in without long travel time. If you want to book, confirm which session formats she currently offers before scheduling so you know what options are available. Online sessions can make it easier to have short check-ins, practice skills between meetings, or maintain consistency while juggling family or work commitments.
