Raquel McCranie is a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Qualified Supervisor with five years of experience supporting adults and couples as they work toward healthier, more balanced lives. She blends practical conversation with clinical training to create individualized care rather than applying the same formula to every client.
Raquel completed a Bachelor of Arts in General Psychology with a minor in Communications and went on to earn a Master of Science in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. Her training and professional background include behavioral health, addiction recovery, individual counseling, relationship support, and trauma work, allowing her to draw on a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to each person’s needs.
As a mother and member of a blended family, Raquel brings real-life insight into identity and relationship dynamics. She also has a lasting passion for horses and has partnered with equine-assisted programs, incorporating that experience as a meaningful complement to traditional therapeutic methods.
Raquel aims to build a space where people feel genuinely heard - not rushed or reduced to a diagnosis. Fluent in English and Spanish, she works with adults 18 and older and with couples, guiding clients through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and related issues.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Raquel draws on trauma-informed therapy to help people process and move forward from past hurt. This approach focuses on understanding how traumatic experiences affect thoughts, emotions, and relationships, and it supports rebuilding safety and resilience in everyday life.
She also brings experience in addiction recovery counseling, working with people to address substance use and co-occurring challenges by exploring triggers, building coping skills, and strengthening motivation for change. In addition, Raquel has partnered with equine-assisted programs, using interactions with horses as a complementary way to increase self-awareness, emotional regulation, and trust in the therapeutic process.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Raquel works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to access care around work, family, and other commitments. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity when life gets busy, and help connect people with licensed professionals and therapists from wherever they are located in Florida.
