Her practice includes issues related to aging, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and smoking or vaping cessation. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Raquel emphasizes clear steps people can try between meetings, such as new ways of thinking, communication practices, or brief mindfulness exercises.

She speaks English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches and how online therapy fits your life
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own answers, which is especially useful for building self-esteem and facing life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, and social fears by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to keep moving toward clearer thinking and better coping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and practice new communication skills. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, running through short exercises, or staying on track between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
