Evidence-based techniques and online therapy options
Raquel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she employs involves teaching skills to manage anxious thoughts and physical stress responses; this helps people reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Another technique centers on building routines and organizational strategies to address motivation and ADHD-related challenges; these tools help with time management, task follow-through, and clearer priorities.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Raquel works with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what proves helpful. She encourages feedback so the methods align with the client's needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single formula.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are used for face-to-face conversation and deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable, and live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or scheduling check-ups. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
