About Raquel
Raquel Ortiz Terron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York and New Jersey with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, family concerns, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her approach is practical and goal-oriented. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to what matters to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are included to help manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.
Raquel helps people with specific concerns such as panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, social anxiety, phobias, postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and problems with communication. She also supports people working through personality-related challenges and paranoia by focusing on workable coping strategies.
Sessions focus on real-life changes. Conversations aim to clarify what is getting in the way and test small, doable steps. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform these short-term action steps and help build momentum toward practical goals.
Her style emphasizes clear feedback and simple tools clients can use between sessions. She adapts interventions to each person's situation and speaks both English and Spanish to meet language needs. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process to set a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach prioritize clear questions and reflective feedback so the conversation stays focused on practical concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests new behaviors. In online sessions CBT can include tracking exercises, behavioral experiments, and short between-session tasks to practice new skills.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods that fit the client's needs. That plan is adjusted over time based on what works in weekly conversations and the results of small, practical experiments.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to use tools like worksheets and brief between-session check-ins. It also allows for shorter check-ins when days are tight and for sessions conducted in the language the client prefers, such as English or Spanish.
