Raquel has experience in outpatient settings and community-based services. She has worked with multidisciplinary teams and supported people through trauma, grief, and mental health crises. That work informs how she plans care and coordinates with other supports when needed.
Her practice includes attention to identity and relationships, including issues related to LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, and sexuality. She also addresses struggles such as codependency, isolation, communication problems, and social anxiety.

Evidence-based techniques and how they translate online
Raquel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional regulation. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then practice new responses to stress and relationship problems. This approach is useful for anxiety, self-esteem, and social anxiety issues.Another frequently used technique focuses on processing difficult memories and symptoms after trauma. It includes step-by-step exercises to reduce distress and improve coping over time, which can help with dissociation, grief, and crisis recovery.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raquel will work with each person to figure out which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking.
