About Raquel
Raquel Aspuru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with five years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, parenting, grief, and related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Raquel uses straightforward, practical talk in sessions. She listens first, then helps people sort out what matters most. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful patterns.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people slow down and reduce overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing appears when someone wants focused help finding motivation and making changes. Solution-Focused Therapy guides brief planning for concrete next steps.
In a meeting with Raquel, expect direct conversation about everyday challenges. She helps people set small, realistic goals and tries ways to make daily life more manageable. The approach is plain and practical rather than theoretical.
Her experience includes supporting people facing identity and intimacy questions, caregiving stress, grief, body image concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She also addresses more specific issues such as abandonment, blended family challenges, communication problems, and coping after disasters.
People who prefer working in English or Spanish can request either language. To begin, the usual pathway is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session so goals and the initial plan can be discussed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions start with what the person brings and the therapist helps prioritize concerns. This approach is useful when someone needs someone to reflect and clarify their thoughts and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear, practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try different behaviors. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, depression, and stress where problem-solving and behavior changes are helpful.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These skills help people notice stress and choose calmer responses in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques make the most sense for the situation.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue work while managing caregiving or work obligations without promising any specific session arrangement.
