Raquel “Rocky” McCranie is a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor with 5+ years of experience helping adults (18+) and couples create healthier, more balanced lives — through real conversations, not clinical formulas.
She earned her Bachelor's Degree in General Psychology with a minor in Communications before completing her Master's Degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling at the University of South Florida.
Her background spans behavioral health, addiction recovery, individual counseling, relationship support, and trauma. She draws from a wide range of approaches — tailored to what each person actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Being a mother and part of a blended family herself, Rocky understands the complexities of navigating your own identity within relationship dynamics. She has a deep passion for horses and has gained experience with equine-assisted approaches through partnerships — something she finds profoundly meaningful as a complement to traditional therapy.
Her goal is simple: to create a space where you actually feel heard — not managed, not analyzed, not rushed — just genuinely understood.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
