Raquel Aspuru, LCSW

Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW who brings a down-to-earth, practical approach to therapy. She talks plainly and listens closely so people feel heard. Her style centers on respect, kindness, and acceptance while helping clients take steps toward positive change.

She uses straightforward methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions among other concerns. Sessions often focus on small, manageable steps that build momentum. Raquel helps people work through relationship and intimacy issues, grief, coping with life changes, and work-related strain.

Raquel blends client-centered conversation with goal-focused tools when appropriate. She may draw on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies are also part of her toolbox to help people find relief and practical solutions.

With five years of experience, she aims to create a supportive space where people can set realistic goals. She encourages active collaboration so clients feel involved in planning their next steps. Raquel offers services in English and Spanish for people located in Florida.

To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them and to identify the first small change they want to make. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and works with each person at their own pace.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel understood and guides them to define their own goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practices new ways of coping for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That collaborative conversation shapes whether more skills work, mindfulness practice, or solution-focused planning will be emphasized.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue momentum between appointments through agreed-upon homework or brief follow-ups if that fits the person's goals.
