Clara Angulo , LCSW

Clara Angulo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of practice in Florida. She offers bilingual services in English and Spanish. Clara focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes in a straightforward, supportive way.

Clara aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most. She uses plain language and practical steps so people can try things between sessions. Her approach is collaborative - she and the client set goals together and adjust as needed.

In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take action. Attachment-based work is used when relationships and connection are central to the concern.

Clara has experience with a wide range of issues including self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, caregiving stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing career shifts, divorce or separation, and family of origin challenges.

Her style blends evidence-informed tools with a warm, client-centered attitude. Sessions aim to be practical, focused, and respectful of each person’s cultural background. Clara encourages steady progress through small, achievable steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier connection habits, which can be helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, giving people space to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clara will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they can try options and adjust the plan when needed so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief exchanges between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
