Raquel Lopez

Raquel Lopez is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Colorado with 14 years of clinical experience. She has worked with people facing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, suicidal thoughts and self-harm behaviors, sexual issues, stresses tied to involvement in the criminal justice system, and recovery from physical, sexual, or emotional trauma.

Her therapeutic approach is warm, motivating, supportive, and interactive. Raquel treats each person with respect, openness, and compassion, and she frames clients as the experts of their own lives while offering education, encouragement, and practical support to help them move toward greater well-being. She often keeps a light-hearted tone when appropriate and believes a sense of humor can make difficult topics easier to address.

Raquel blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, family systems perspectives, and trauma-informed practices, and she tailors conversations and treatment plans to each individual’s goals and needs. She also offers help for concerns such as stress, addictions, self-esteem, LGBT-related matters, intimacy and relationship issues, parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Seeking change takes courage, and Raquel is available to support and empower clients who are ready to take that step. Her schedule for live and phone sessions can vary from week to week, so if an immediate time slot is not visible she welcomes messages to provide additional options. She looks forward to working with new clients.
