About Raquel
Raquel Lopez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 14 years of clinical experience. She uses a straightforward, warm style and helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. Raquel also supports people facing trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the challenges of parenting and life transitions.
Her sessions are conversational and goal oriented. She treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day coping easier.
Background and approach
She keeps a light touch when appropriate and uses empathy to make difficult topics easier to talk about. Raquel draws on client-centered techniques to follow each person's lead. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors.
She also applies solution-focused methods to set clear goals and build small, achievable changes. Her background includes work with people who have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional trauma, and those coping with mood disorders, self-harm behaviors, and addiction-related problems. She has supported people dealing with attachment and relationship struggles, post-traumatic stress, postpartum challenges, and issues related to sexual assault and abuse.
Sessions are adapted to individual needs, and plans are designed to meet specific goals. Raquel emphasizes education, motivation, and practical skills so her clients can notice gradual progress. She invites people ready to take steps toward change to begin a collaborative process focused on real-world results.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions
Raquel uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, and solution-focused techniques to guide online therapy. Client-centered therapy means listening closely and following the person's priorities to build trust and direction; it helps when someone wants space to be heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing alternatives to reduce anxiety, low mood, or anger. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and small, practical steps to move forward rather than spending most time on past problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Raquel will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then recommend techniques that match those needs. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter updates, quick skill practice, and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, childcare, or other commitments.
