About Raquel
Raquel Aspuru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She works with adults on concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, grief, intimacy issues, and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Raquel uses a down-to-earth, straightforward style. Conversations are practical and focused on what a person wants to change. She emphasizes respect, kindness, and acceptance in the room while helping people name their priorities and goals.
Her work often centers on patterns that leave someone exhausted or overwhelmed by other people’s needs. She helps people who find themselves people-pleasing, struggling to set boundaries, or getting pulled into another person’s moods or crises. Raquel also supports clients coping with life changes, caregiving stress, work pressures, and issues around self-esteem and body image.
Raquel draws on Client-Centered and Solution-Focused approaches to keep sessions aligned with what the client wants to accomplish. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness strategies when noticing patterns of thought or stress that are getting in the way of daily life.
Practical steps are part of her approach. That might mean trying small behavior changes between sessions, experimenting with new ways to express needs, or using brief exercises to reduce anxiety. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Raquel uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize what the client wants to work on. This approach centers the person’s own goals and experiences and is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and codependency patterns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT can be practical for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and coping with stress. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to build simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help manage strong emotions.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels useful and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. That conversation helps shape what is tried in sessions and what exercises might be used between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it easier to attend when schedules are tight. Therapists will also adapt practices so they work well in a remote setting rather than assuming the same activities as in-person work.
