About Raquel
Raquel Lobaina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate strong emotions and relationship strain. She focuses on practical skills for managing anger, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Her style is direct and respectful, aimed at giving clients tools they can use between sessions.
Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. She draws on ten years of experience in community and clinical settings and adapts her approach to each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Sessions blend conversation with concrete exercises and practice activities. People working with her can expect clear goals and a plan that changes as progress is made. Raquel pays attention to safety and the effects of past trauma while keeping the work focused and manageable.
She explains skills in plain language and checks in on how they’re working. Her background includes years delivering trauma-informed care and supporting people after difficult life events such as separation, adoption-related concerns, and loss. That experience informs how she responds to dissociation, post-traumatic stress, and recovery from sexual assault or abuse.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are tailored to the pace each person needs. Raquel encourages practical steps and steady progress, helping people build better communication, handle intense feelings, and adjust to life changes.

How Raquel Uses CBT Online and What to Expect
Raquel relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life behavior changes. CBT helps with anger, anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills and step-by-step plans to change reactions.She frames treatment as a collaborative process. Together the client and the therapist decide which techniques to try, set achievable goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The therapist checks progress regularly and teaches skills that people can practice between sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, short skill practice, or times when writing feels safer than talking. These options make it easier to attend sessions from work, school, or home and to keep therapy consistent during busy periods.
