Raquel Perez, LCSW

Raquel Perez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes and people affected by trauma or abuse.

Raquel spends sessions building a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about what feels hard. She encourages small, doable steps toward clearer goals. Her approach is practical and straightforward, focused on what will help someone feel more capable day to day.

With six years of professional experience, Raquel has worked with a range of mood and behavior concerns. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, dissociation, postpartum depression, and social anxiety among others. This variety shapes how she tailors conversations and coping strategies.

She talks things through with clients to help them notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Raquel emphasizes collaboration - clients set priorities and she offers tools and feedback. The aim is to build skills that fit each person’s life and challenges.

Raquel practices in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English. If you are supporting a carer or managing caregiver stress, she lists Supporting carers as a focus and can discuss how that concern fits into therapy.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online care

Raquel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear actions and coping skills. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life situations to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach centers on building present-moment coping skills and grounding techniques to manage stress, dissociation, or trauma-related reactions.

Choosing the right approach happens together. Raquel will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Over a few sessions she will check in and adjust the plan so it feels useful and doable for you.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from wherever they are during the day. Licensed professionals can use online time to teach skills, review coping plans, and track progress while helping clients apply strategies to daily routines.
