How Raquel’s Approaches Work Online

Raquel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered approaches when working with people online. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes that lead to relief over time. Client-centered work puts the person’s goals and choices at the center of each session, with the therapist offering empathy and practical feedback.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Raquel collaborates with clients to choose which methods to try based on their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain steady progress without traveling to appointments.
