Raquel Aspuru, LCSW

Raquel Aspuru is an LCSW who brings a down-to-earth, practical approach to therapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, addiction, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and reflect a respectful, kind attitude toward each person’s situation.

Her style aims to be straightforward and real. She emphasizes acceptance and goodwill while working with clients to identify small, doable steps. People can expect clear conversation about goals, coping skills, and what might change day to day.

With five years of experience, Raquel draws on methods that fit the client rather than following a single script. She often uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral tools help with patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness practices are used to ground people in the present moment and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing supports clients who want to change behaviors but feel stuck. Solution-focused work helps clarify practical next steps when problems feel overwhelming.

Raquel works with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, and coping after trauma. She aims to create a collaborative space where people can talk through fears, practice new skills, and build on their own strengths.

Approaches that guide online work and what to expect

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client’s lead to decide what matters most in sessions. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk about relationships, grief, or self-esteem.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy adds short exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins after work or between commitments. It also makes it possible to use short skill-practice moments and regular follow-ups to build momentum without major schedule disruption.
