About Raquel
Raquel Aspuru is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience based in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and a range of other life challenges. Raquel offers services in English and Spanish.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s own priorities and on mindfulness-based techniques to build attention and calm. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work appear when people want clear steps toward change.
In sessions she keeps the tone direct and human. Conversations focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what helps. She works through relationship issues, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, career questions, and coping with life transitions.
Raquel also addresses more specialized concerns listed in her practice, such as attachment issues, caregiving stress, body image, and compassion fatigue. She notes experience with mood disorders like bipolar presentations and with ADHD-related struggles. Her background as an LCSW informs how she integrates practical tools with listening.

How Raquel integrates CBT and related methods online
Raquel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns and to set short experiments that test new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habit-related problems because it breaks issues into specific thoughts and actions to change. She also uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on each person’s goals and priorities, listening first and adjusting pace and topics accordingly. Mindfulness therapy appears as simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support sleep or emotion regulation. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits the person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps pick practical next steps rather than assuming one method will fit everyone. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in everyday settings and return to strategies between sessions.Areas of expertise
