Background and approach
Her background includes a long span of clinical work in Oklahoma and Texas. Raquel uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions are goal-oriented and practical, with steps clients can use outside the session.
Raquel also addresses aging and geriatric concerns, body image, commitment and communication problems, and issues that arise during divorce or separation. She offers support around hospice and end-of-life questions and helps people manage impulsivity, panic attacks, and somatization. She incorporates methods that encourage awareness and action, such as mindfulness exercises and cognitive strategies to change unhelpful thinking.
For people wanting short-term, focused work she uses solution-focused techniques. Raquel aims to help each person build stronger self-value, confidence, and coping skills.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and begin to explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. The Gottman Method provides concrete tools for improving communication and managing conflict in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Raquel works with each person to decide which tools fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and invites clients to give feedback about what helps most.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more manageable around life demands. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can support ongoing motivation, quick reflections, or when scheduling needs more flexibility.
