Raquel Aspuru

Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW who brings a straightforward, down-to-earth style to therapy. She aims to meet people where they are with respect, kindness, and acceptance. Raquel encourages small steps toward a healthier, more manageable life and offers practical support along the way.

Raquel uses a conversational approach that focuses on the client as the expert in their life. Sessions emphasize clarity, practical problem solving, and building coping skills for stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship concerns. She also helps people navigate grief, trauma, addictions, and life transitions.

Her work often blends talk-based methods with goal-oriented techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Solution-Focused methods help set concrete goals and track progress between sessions.

Mindfulness practices are introduced when helpful to calm the mind and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are weighing change, including those working on substance use or behavior changes.

Raquel has five years of clinical experience and practices in Florida. She offers services in both English and Spanish and is open to discussing common concerns like parenting stress, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with burnout. To begin, she invites people to take a first step and reach out when they are ready.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace. This approach helps people who need someone to reflect back their concerns and clarify goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tries specific strategies to change patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns because it emphasizes practical exercises and step-by-step changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve focus. These skills are often integrated into sessions to support coping and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what felt helpful in past support. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible. Discussing practical details like session length and times helps match therapy to everyday routines.
