About Raquel
Raquel Day is a licensed mental health counselor with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Her approach aims to make therapy feel like a calm, honest conversation rather than a formal exam.
She works with people facing big life transitions, career or academic pressure, and relationship friction. She also supports clients with LGBT concerns and issues around identity and sexuality.
Background and approach
Raquel uses concrete tools such as grounding skills and assertive communication to help people reduce anticipatory anxiety and stop people-pleasing habits. Raquel’s work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and a trauma-informed perspective. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice small behavior changes, and use safety-focused skills when emotions feel intense.
Sessions emphasize practical steps that can be used between meetings. Over the years she has worked in both school and clinical settings, which shaped her focus on real-world problems and quick, usable strategies. She sometimes adjusts her schedule in the summer to fit a client's preferred day and time.
Her background and style are straightforward and encouraging. She aims to help clients build clearer boundaries, stronger self-worth, and a steadier day-to-day routine. Raquel communicates in plain language and keeps the work focused on what a person wants to change.
Approach-driven care for online sessions
Raquel emphasizes a few evidence-based methods that help in short, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Trauma-informed care centers on recognizing how past stress affects current reactions and teaching grounding and regulation skills to manage intense moments.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan based on how things are going.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and practicing skills in the moment. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and staying connected between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
