More about Raquel
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I offer therapy in both English and Spanish.
I am a licensed therapist in Florida with over 5 years of professional experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and compassionate. I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and that you already possess strengths and resilience that can help you navigate life’s challenges. Therapy is a supportive space where we can explore your experiences at your own pace, build insight, and develop practical tools to promote healing, growth, and emotional well-being.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I want to acknowledge that choice. I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
