More about Raquel
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I offer therapy in both English and Spanish.
I am a licensed therapist in Florida with over 5 years of professional experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and compassionate. I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and that you already possess strengths and resilience that can help you navigate life’s challenges. Therapy is a supportive space where we can explore your experiences at your own pace, build insight, and develop practical tools to promote healing, growth, and emotional well-being.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I want to acknowledge that choice. I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
