About Raquel
Raquel Ortiz Terron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and family concerns. She works with people seeking better self-esteem and support through life changes. Conversations can focus on symptom relief and clearer daily coping strategies.
With 22 years of experience, Raquel draws on practical methods to build real change. She listens with respect and adapts the plan to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to clarify goals, reduce overwhelming feelings, and strengthen problem-solving skills.
Her approach blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means people shape what they want to address while learning concrete ways to shift thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices help with grounding when anxiety or panic feels intense.
She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to identify strengths and small steps forward. Those methods can be useful when motivation is low or when quick, focused changes are needed. The emphasis is on practical moves that fit daily life.
Raquel will tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She values sensitivity and compassion while keeping sessions goal-oriented. People who are ready to work on communication, obsessive thoughts, postpartum mood, or seasonal lows may find these approaches helpful.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Raquel often combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Client-centered therapy means sessions are guided by the person’s concerns and priorities, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings in the moment. Mindfulness can include brief breathing or grounding practices that calm the body and make it easier to use other tools. Together these methods aim to build skills the person can use between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily routines. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so treatment stays focused and practical.
