About Raquel

Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW who brings a practical, compassionate approach to helping clients navigate life’s challenges. She blends evidence-informed methods with a personable, down-to-earth style, emphasizing respect, kindness, and acceptance as central to the therapeutic relationship.

Background and approach

With five years of clinical experience, she works with concerns ranging from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship, family, and intimacy issues, as well as behavioral concerns like addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related issues including grief, career stress, caregiver strain, body image, and communication or commitment problems.

Raquel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques to help people identify patterns, build coping skills, and pursue practical goals. She aims to empower clients to take courageous steps toward a healthier, more satisfying life and supports people through both short-term problem solving and longer-term personal growth.

Raquel offers services in English and Spanish from her Florida practice. Prospective clients can expect a straightforward, empathetic collaboration focused on real-world strategies and the client’s individual strengths and values.

Practical approaches for online therapy and real-world change

Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try new strategies that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, focusing on empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own goals to create a respectful collaborative relationship that supports personal growth. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to help people develop present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She tailors methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and aims to involve clients in deciding which techniques to prioritize so the plan feels practical and achievable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, continue work during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while pursuing meaningful change.
