About Raquel
Raquel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 14 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, and issues related to trauma and abuse.
Her style is interactive and motivational. She treats people with respect and an open mind. In sessions she keeps a straightforward tone and often uses lightness and humor to make hard topics easier to talk about.
Raquel draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify patterns of thought and behavior that feed stress or anger. She also uses solution-focused methods to set practical, short-term goals people can try between appointments.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns across 14 years, including addictions, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, postpartum depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. Raquel has experience with issues tied to the criminal justice system and with people processing attachment wounds, guilt, or betrayal.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Raquel will listen first, then help craft steps to reduce reactivity, manage frustration, and improve communication. She supports people who want clearer coping strategies and more control over how they respond to stress and anger.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters most. In practice this means sessions start with the client's priorities, and the therapist reflects and clarifies so people feel understood and in charge of goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tests new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals that build momentum quickly.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use techniques and homework between meetings so progress continues in everyday life.
