About Raquel

Raquel Lobaina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem concerns, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 10 years of clinical experience, she draws on practical, evidence-informed techniques to tailor care to each person's needs and circumstances. Her practice emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate engagement.

Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods and trauma-informed cognitive behavior approaches to address symptoms and teach skills for coping, emotion regulation, and healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. She also brings specific experience with adoption and foster care challenges, dissociation, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, divorce and separation, communication problems, and other stressors.

Raquel aims to collaborate with clients to develop individualized treatment plans rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions. She frames the work as a partnership that supports clients in taking courageous steps toward greater well-being and resilience.

CBT and Trauma-Informed Care Online

Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns. She also applies trauma-informed cognitive behavioral methods that focus on processing traumatic experiences, improving coping strategies, and reducing symptoms related to abuse or post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is collaborative. Raquel discusses goals, preferences, and current challenges with each person and adapts strategies from CBT and trauma-focused work to suit those needs so clients and therapist make decisions together about the best path forward.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while allowing people to choose formats that fit their daily life and comfort level.
