About Raquel
Raquel Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and adjustment to life changes. Raquel lists social anxiety and phobia among the concerns she addresses and offers support for related issues such as isolation and post-traumatic stress.
Raquel uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She encourages clients to talk through their immediate worries and to identify small, usable steps they can try between meetings. The focus is on clearer thinking, manageable coping skills, and building confidence for everyday situations.
Her background in social work informs a problem-focused style that looks at how stress and past experiences affect current behavior. She pays attention to attachment and relational patterns and how they show up in relationships and self-view. That includes concerns tied to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and multicultural issues.
Raquel is experienced with mood-related conditions, dissociation, self-harm concerns, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). She also supports people facing postpartum depression and those navigating transitions in young adulthood. Sessions aim to reduce avoidance and increase practical options for coping in social and daily settings.
Sessions are conducted in English and Raquel does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Raquel works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical changes and symptom reduction. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing clearer alternatives; this helps with anxiety and negative self-beliefs by providing concrete steps to try in real situations. Another approach she uses targets regulation of strong emotions and stress responses through grounding and behavioral experiments, which can reduce avoidance and increase tolerance for difficult feelings.Finding the right method is part of the work. Raquel collaborates with clients to choose approaches that match their goals, comfort level, and the issues they want to address. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful and what the client prefers.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.

Online work can also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into discussion without needing extra travel.
