About Raquel
Raquel Aspuru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, relationship challenges, and parenting. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. She asks people to take the first step when they feel ready and offers a straightforward, down-to-earth approach.
Raquel uses clear, practical conversation in sessions. She listens first, then helps people set short-term goals and steps they can try between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on solution-focused techniques to identify what already works. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing may appear when someone wants help with habits or motivation.
Her background as an LCSW means she brings social work perspectives to clinical concerns and life stressors. That experience informs work with grief, caregiver stress, aging issues, and co-occurring problems such as mood disorders and ADHD. She also works with people facing identity and intimacy questions, body image, eating and sleeping problems.
In sessions she keeps language direct and practical. People can expect to talk through recent patterns, try small experiments, and track what changes. She emphasizes respect and plain feedback rather than therapeutic jargon.
If someone needs to start, Raquel asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Raquel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. She helps people spot unhelpful thinking and practices small behavior changes to reduce anger, anxiety, or low mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. That approach means the therapist listens without heavy direction and supports the client's own goals. Mindfulness Therapy appears when people want skills to notice urges, calm the body, and respond rather than react; these simple practices can help with anger and stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Raquel collaborates with each person to decide what to try first, reviews progress, and adjusts methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. The process is practical and paced to what the person can manage.
The specific session formats Raquel uses are not listed here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice skills in everyday settings and more readily follow through on small experiments between appointments.
