Evidence-based techniques and online care
Raquel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations about relationships and life changes. One common approach focuses on attachment patterns and how they shape intimacy. This helps people notice recurring ways of relating and try new responses that improve communication and closeness. Another common technique addresses trauma responses and grounding skills to manage overwhelming feelings, useful for those coping with post-traumatic stress or recent upheaval. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to test methods and adapt based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques fit goals and preferences. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online options can make shorter check-ins easier and let people connect from different locations when in-person work isn’t practical. The exact formats offered should be confirmed before booking so clients know what to expect.Areas of expertise
