About Raquel
Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW who offers a straightforward, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She focuses on respect, kindness, and acceptance while helping people move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning. Raquel speaks English and Spanish and works with adults in Florida.
Raquel uses methods that center the person in the room. She listens first, then helps identify small, practical steps to reduce stress and anxiety or manage mood swings and depression.
How Raquel works
She also supports people facing trauma, grief, addiction, identity concerns, and challenges around intimacy and relationships. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help people calm their minds and notice patterns without judgment.
She also uses solution-focused and motivational strategies to set short-term goals and keep progress moving. With five years of clinical experience, Raquel blends warmth with clear direction. Sessions are meant to feel honest and real rather than academic.
She emphasizes skills people can use between appointments to handle tough moments and make steady changes. Raquel can help with parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and co-occurring issues like bipolar symptoms or substance misuse. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person first, giving space to share experiences while the therapist listens with acceptance and without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard and helps set the pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches clear skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and sensations without reacting, which can reduce reactivity and support better sleep and emotional regulation.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Raquel works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they try practical tools, review what helps, and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging provide ongoing contact and flexible ways to share thoughts between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and workable for busy schedules.
