About Raquel
Raquel Perez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or the effects of past trauma and abuse. Raquel also supports people facing big life changes and those needing encouragement to regain motivation and confidence.
Raquel creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about what they are feeling. Sessions focus on listening first and then working together to find clear, manageable steps forward.
How Raquel works
She aims to help people feel heard and to build practical skills that fit everyday life. Her background includes six years of professional experience providing direct clinical care. That experience informs how she responds to mood disorders, postpartum depression, dissociation, self-harm concerns, and social anxiety.
Raquel also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment struggles, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and multicultural concerns. Raquel takes a straightforward approach to therapy, helping clients identify patterns and try new ways of coping. She supports young adults and others navigating transitions, and she pays attention to how trauma can affect current thoughts and relationships.
People who want a listening ear plus concrete tools may find her style helpful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based techniques and online therapy options
Raquel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and symptom relief. One common approach is skill-building work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm. This helps people manage day-to-day symptoms and regain a sense of control.Another key strand is trauma-informed care, which pays attention to how past hurt affects current thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This approach moves at the client's pace, names how trauma shows up, and offers ways to reduce intense reactions over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Many people find that remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care during life transitions and make therapy more practical for everyday life.
