Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Raquel combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in a practical, online-friendly way. Client-centered therapy means sessions start with your experience and priorities, and the therapist follows your lead to create a plan that matters to you. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions with less judgment, which can reduce stress and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try based on goals, daily life, and what feels most helpful. That plan can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people connect from different locations within her service area. The focus remains on practical steps, manageable goals, and building skills that carry into everyday life.
