About Raquel
Raquel Lobaina helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, or major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Texas and works in both English and Spanish. Raquel focuses on clear, practical steps people can use right away.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions aim to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, or depression while building coping skills for stress and change.
How Raquel works
Her work includes support for people affected by abuse, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and sexual assault. She also helps with issues tied to adoption and foster care, divorce or separation, communication problems, and young adult transitions. Raquel adapts conversation and the plan to each person’s situation.
Over the last 10 years she has worked with people impacted by trauma and difficult behaviors. That experience informs how she plans treatment and sets goals with clients. Raquel emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical gains rather than long explanations.
People meet her in sessions that focus on doable skills, problem-solving, and recovery from past harms. She encourages small steps and measures progress so people can see change. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward to make therapy easier to use for busy lives.

Online support options
Using CBT and online formats to address trauma and stress
Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to help people identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, anger, or low self-esteem. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches practical skills to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which often helps with everyday stress and relationship struggles.The choice of approach is a collaborative process. Raquel will work with each person to decide how CBT fits their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, achievable goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for fuller conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief, focused exchanges between appointments and can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
