Raquel Lobaina

Raquel Lobaina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage anger and related concerns. She talks with clients about what’s happening now, what’s been hard in the past, and practical steps to reduce overwhelm. Her approach is direct and respectful, aimed at helping people feel more in control of their reactions.

With ten years of experience, she draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions focus on real-world skills that can be practiced between meetings. Raquel adjusts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

She has worked extensively with people affected by trauma and abuse and supports those dealing with relationship strain, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care concerns, communication problems, dissociation, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and young adult issues.

Raquel believes change begins with small steps and collaboration. She aims to create a calm, straightforward process that helps people build skills and notice progress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she practices within Texas.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people to her practice. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

How CBT Fits into Online Therapy

Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot patterns that fuel anger and stress. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can test different responses and see what works. This approach often includes simple homework like tracking reactions and trying new behaviors between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raquel collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and exercises based on how someone is progressing and what feels doable in everyday life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits often include easier scheduling and fewer commute barriers, which can make regular meetings more feasible. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed and may help fit sessions into a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals can still guide skill practice, review progress, and plan next steps whether sessions are remote or in person.
