About Raquel
Raquel Lobaina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, direct style to sessions. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to handle daily demands.
Raquel draws on about 10 years of experience supporting people after traumatic experiences and during difficult life transitions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and to practice different, more helpful responses.
Background and approach
In sessions she works at a comfortable pace and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Expect clear skill-building, homework tailored to real life, and steady work on manageable steps rather than long lectures. She focuses on practical changes that make daily life easier and reduce intense reactions over time.
Raquel also addresses issues like depression, anger, low self-esteem, and the stress that comes with adoption and foster care concerns, separation and divorce, or recovery from sexual assault and abuse. She pays attention to dissociation and post-traumatic stress symptoms when they are present and helps people learn ways to cope. Her background includes years working with trauma-related concerns and young adult issues.
Raquel aims to create a respectful space where people can build skills, regain confidence, and move toward the life they want.
How CBT and online sessions can help
Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more effective choices. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so concrete steps can be practiced between sessions. This approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood because it focuses on skills you can use right away.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT techniques fit their goals and adjust methods as needs change. The plan is practical and flexible, and progress is checked as therapy continues so the treatment stays relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people talk face to face when that helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy day and to follow up on homework or skills practice between conversations. These options give flexibility for scheduling and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent.
