About Raquel
Raquel Santana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. She also addresses related concerns such as attachment, communication, control issues, and the emotional impact of divorce and separation.
Raquel uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help people who feel stuck or uncertain. Sessions often involve identifying patterns that cause pain and trying small changes that people can practice between meetings. She talks through feelings of guilt, shame, and questions about identity and purpose in clear, everyday language.
She has worked with people navigating pregnancy and childbirth, post-traumatic stress, and questions about sexuality and self-love. Raquel pays attention to how cultural background and personal identity shape relationships and choices. That means she asks about values, roles, and the practical demands of daily life when planning next steps.
In sessions she works with young adults and women as individuals to sort through relationship and life-direction questions. She aims to help clients recognize what matters most and to build manageable ways to change how they relate to themselves and others.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Raquel works from evidence-based techniques that focus on changing patterns in relationships and self-view. One common approach helps identify attachment and relationship patterns that affect intimacy. It looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and teaches practical ways to shift those patterns in day-to-day interactions.Another frequently used method centers on skills for communication and emotional regulation. This approach teaches concrete steps for clearer communication, managing intense feelings, and handling conflict without escalating. It is useful for people working through control issues, guilt, or shame.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Raquel collaborates with each client to match techniques to their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they review what is helping, what to adjust, and how to practice changes between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel time on a workday. Licensed professionals often find that consistent, regular meetings help maintain momentum while people manage everyday responsibilities.
