About Raquel

Raquel Lopez is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who uses a warm, interactive approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style is supportive and motivational, with an emphasis on treating people with respect and compassion.

Raquel listens first and builds goals together with each person. She often mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered conversation and solution-focused planning.

Background and approach

That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try small experiments, and set clear short-term goals. She has worked with people coping with trauma and abuse, addictions, issues around intimacy and sexual assault, and stress linked to major life changes.

Raquel also addresses concerns such as postpartum depression, mood disorders, ADHD, self-harm, and process addictions like gambling or pornography when they come up in therapy. Her sessions aim to be practical and hopeful. She uses straightforward language, keeps a light touch when appropriate, and encourages clients to try new strategies between meetings.

Raquel explains options clearly and adapts the plan based on what is working. Located in Colorado, she provides online care using video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Raquel frames therapy as a collaborative process and invites people who are ready to take steps toward change to begin a conversation.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Raquel commonly uses client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and supported. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of thought and behavior and replaces them with practical experiments and coping skills for issues like anxiety and depression.

She also draws on solution-focused methods to set clear, short-term goals and track small changes. Together with the client she will try different approaches and decide what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person move forward.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep momentum between meetings, try short check-ins, and work around parenting, work, or geographic constraints while continuing therapeutic progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
