About Raquel
Raquel Lobaina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as relationship problems, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions may be conducted in English or Spanish.
Raquel’s background includes many years treating people affected by trauma and related issues. She has worked with clients who have experienced sexual or physical abuse, substance-related concerns, and other at-risk behaviors. Her work focuses on practical, evidence-informed strategies to manage symptoms and improve everyday functioning.
Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods to help people identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anger, anxiety, or depression. She helps clients learn new skills for communication and emotional regulation. Sessions involve straightforward conversation, skill practice, and problem-solving.
She also brings experience with trauma-focused approaches when trauma is a central concern. That means addressing distressing memories and building safer ways to cope over time. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase control over reactions, not to promise quick fixes.
Raquel works with parents and caregivers as part of her earlier practice with younger people, and she is familiar with adoption and foster care dynamics. If someone needs therapy in a language other than English or Spanish, they should confirm options before booking.
How sessions work
How CBT and trauma-focused work translate to online care
Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include setting clear goals, practicing skills between sessions, and tracking how changes affect mood and anger. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with anger.When trauma is a central concern, Raquel applies trauma-focused methods to reduce reactivity and improve coping over time. That work can include talking through difficult memories at a measured pace and building grounding and emotion-regulation skills to manage intense reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raquel will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then adjust methods as needed. She works with each person to choose practical steps and homework that fit everyday life.
Confirm specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Generally, online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits can help people fit therapy into a busy routine without promising a particular service.
