About Raquel
LCSW in New York and New Jersey with 22 years of clinical experience, Raquel Ortiz Terron helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with family concerns, communication problems, obsessions and compulsions, panic attacks, phobias, and postpartum or seasonal mood shifts. Raquel works in English and Spanish and practices from New Jersey.
Her approach mixes Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and elements of Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens to what matters most and then helps people set small, practical goals. She uses concrete tools from CBT for thought patterns and behavior, and mindfulness strategies to reduce stress in daily life.
Raquel frames therapy as a collaborative process. She asks about current concerns, daily routines, and what has helped before. Together she and the client identify workable changes and check progress over time rather than promise quick fixes.
Many people consult her for panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, social anxiety, and relationship communication problems. She also supports those coping with postpartum depression, personality-related struggles, and seasonal affective symptoms. Sessions focus on skills you can practice between meetings and adjustments that fit your life.
Her background as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker informs a practical, person-focused style. Raquel aims to make next steps clear and manageable, so people can try new ways of responding to stress and strengthen self-regard over time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and collaboration. Online sessions keep the same emphasis on what matters to the client and on setting realistic goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; in online sessions this often includes reviewing thought records, homework, and step-by-step behavioral experiments. Mindfulness Therapy introduces short attention and breathing practices to lower stress and increase awareness; these can be practiced during or between remote meetings to build coping skills.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Raquel will talk with each person about symptoms, daily routines, and what they want to change. She and the client decide together which methods to try and adjust them based on progress and preference, keeping the plan practical and focused on small, doable steps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try new skills between meetings and integrate changes into everyday life.
