About Raquel

Raquel Colbert-Dawson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience who focuses on helping people sort through life’s challenges. She helps individuals build stronger self-esteem and cope with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Raquel listens first and then helps clients set clear goals. She mixes conversation with exercises that teach new emotional skills and healthier thinking patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions are paced to match each person's readiness to change. She draws from several well-known methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, client-centered work that follows the person’s priorities, and the Gottman Method tools for improving relationship interactions. Mindfulness and solution-focused steps are added when they help meet specific goals.

Raquel works with concerns across the lifespan such as midlife transitions, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and life purpose questions. She also addresses practical problems like smoking and vaping cessation, impulsivity, and panic attacks. Communication problems, commitment worries, and divorce or separation are among her additional focuses.

Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit each person’s schedule. Raquel emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people build confidence and healthier habits.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Raquel uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes concrete exercises and short at-home tasks that reduce anxiety, panic symptoms, and negative thinking patterns.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the person’s priorities. This approach supports people who want empathy and space to name their goals before working toward them. In addition, Gottman Method tools are used to address communication and interaction patterns in close relationships, offering practical skills to improve how people connect and handle conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Raquel will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. She views therapy as collaborative and goal-focused, so the approach can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and real-time exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other life demands.
