About Raquel
Raquel McCranie is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with five years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, addiction, and questions about life purpose.
Raquel uses straightforward conversation rather than clinical formulas. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest talk about what is happening now. She speaks English and Spanish, and she has experience with both individual and couples work for adults aged 18 and over.
Her training includes a Bachelor’s degree in General Psychology with a communications minor, and a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. Her background includes behavioral health, addiction recovery, individual counseling, relationship support, and trauma work. She applies a mix of evidence-based techniques chosen for each person's needs.
As a mother and member of a blended family, Raquel notices how identity and relationship roles interact. She has experience with equine-associated approaches through partnerships and sometimes uses those ideas alongside other methods. She prefers clear, human conversation rather than feeling managed or rushed.
People who come to Raquel often want to talk through what’s next after a change in work, relationships, or health. She focuses on listening and on finding realistic, manageable next steps that fit daily life.
How Raquel uses evidence-based methods online
Raquel draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and applies them in straightforward, spoken work. One common approach focuses on coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching clear practices for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning. Another approach looks at relationship patterns and attachment, helping people notice recurring dynamics and try small changes to communication and boundaries.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. She listens to the person’s goals and history, then suggests approaches that match those needs. The plan can change as work progresses, with practical check-ins about what helps and what does not.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also offers ways to continue therapy after life changes, while the therapist and client collaborate on steps that make sense for daily life.
