Raquel Ortiz TerronLCSW

Raquel Ortiz Terron is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and the life changes that come with pregnancy and childbirth. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's real needs.

Raquel focuses on practical steps that fit into daily life. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions include straightforward tools for coping with panic, obsessive thoughts, social fears, and low mood. She also supports people dealing with postpartum depression and seasonal low moods.

Her style draws on client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small behavior changes. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused exercises are used to build calm and momentum. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.

Raquel has experience guiding people through family tensions and communication problems without taking sides. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and collaboration while helping clients identify what they want to be different. Her aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

People working with her can expect clear steps, regular check-ins on goals, and adjustments based on what is actually helping. She encourages honest conversation about hopes and worries and works alongside each person to map a path forward.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Raquel uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT breaks concerns into steps people can try to change, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities so sessions fit what they actually need.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. That means trying tools and checking in often to see what helps and what to adjust so progress feels real and manageable.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone use mindfulness exercises or homework between sessions so changes carry into everyday life.
