About Raquel

Raquel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, addictions, and trauma and abuse. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life.

She uses straightforward conversation and active feedback to help people understand what keeps problems going. Her main methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques. Those approaches are applied to concerns such as low self-esteem, mood disorders, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress.

Lopez has also supported people dealing with process addictions, sexual assault and abuse, and complicated feelings like guilt, shame, or infidelity. She addresses work and career stress, coping with life changes, and challenges tied to ADHD and attachment issues. Her work includes responding to risky behaviors such as self-harm and problematic sexual or gambling behavior.

In sessions she aims to be motivational and interactive, offering education and practical steps rather than abstract theory. She often keeps the tone light when appropriate to make difficult topics easier to discuss. The focus is on helping each person identify small, achievable changes that lead to steadier functioning.

People who want to start are asked to use the platform process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspectives. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person make their own choices about next steps. It works well for concerns about self-esteem, relationship issues, and general life stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors or coping skills. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and many mood-related problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, short-term steps that lead toward specific changes. The therapist and client set small goals and notice what works quickly, which can help with coping during life transitions or career stress.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's goals, and adjust the plan when something isn't working. The client’s needs and preferences help guide which techniques are used.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the original profile does not list specific options. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, makes follow-up sessions easier to keep, and allows focused check-ins without long commutes. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
