About Raquel
Raquel Lobaina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of experience. She helps people who are managing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
She has a background working with children, adolescents, and caregivers following a range of traumatic experiences. Her work has included supporting people affected by sexual or physical abuse, substance-related concerns, and behaviors that raise safety questions. She also focuses on adoption and foster care issues, communication difficulties, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress.
Raquel uses practical, evidence-informed approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new ways of responding, and tracking what works between sessions. She explains techniques plainly and shows how to apply them in everyday situations.
Her clinical experience includes methods designed for trauma and families, and she adapts conversations and plans to the person in front of her. People can expect concrete steps, skill-building, and regular review of progress. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. International clients are not currently accepted.
CBT-based approaches and online sessions
Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. CBT focuses on practical exercises - tracking thoughts, testing new responses, and building coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also draws on trauma-focused methods when needed, which emphasize safety, stabilizing skills, and stepwise processing of traumatic memories. These approaches aim to reduce distressing symptoms and improve daily functioning by introducing gradual, manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and day-to-day life. That means adjusting pace, selecting exercises that fit routines, and checking progress regularly.
