Raquel Lopez

Raquel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 14 years of experience. She offers a warm, motivational style and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Raquel listens without judgment and helps clients figure out what matters most to them. She is comfortable addressing anger as one of many concerns clients bring to therapy.

Her work covers a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, and challenges around relationships and intimacy. She also helps people coping with parenting strain, career changes, and ADHD. Raquel uses straightforward talk and goal-focused strategies so sessions feel purposeful and manageable.

Raquel blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that match each person’s needs. That means conversations that explore personal strengths, identify unhelpful thinking, and set small, achievable steps. She keeps the tone supportive and sometimes light-hearted to make hard topics easier to approach.

People who have experienced sexual assault, postpartum struggles, mood disorders, or addictive behaviors can bring those concerns to sessions. Raquel also addresses issues like guilt, shame, attachment problems, and process addictions such as gambling or pornography. She aims to tailor a plan that fits each person’s situation.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Raquel speaks English and does not support international clients.

How these approaches translate to online work

Raquel uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead, offering empathic listening and support as clients describe what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around their goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to feelings like anger and anxiety. CBT sessions tend to include clear, practical exercises and homework that people can try between meetings.

Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term, achievable goals and build on small successes. This can be useful when someone needs quick strategies to manage stress, anger, or relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raquel will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.

Confirm current online session options before booking since formats can vary. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time, offering phone check-ins when a shorter conversation is helpful, or allowing scheduling around work and family commitments. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while juggling everyday responsibilities.
