Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center of each session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what she hears, and follows the person's lead to build trust and clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, understanding, and support while they sort through difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online sessions can use CBT to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new coping skills between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood problems.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. In remote sessions Raquel can help clients identify strengths, set short-term goals, and try focused experiments to see what works in daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between appointments. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
