Clara Angulo, LCSW

Clara Angulo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Florida. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. Clara focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk and begin to sort things out.

Clara uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods so people learn practical skills they can use day to day. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new routines. She also integrates acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take steps toward them.

Attachment-based ideas guide her work when relationship patterns matter, and client-centered principles shape sessions so the person’s priorities lead the pace. Dialectical behavior skills are included when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Clara adapts tools to the issues people bring, such as sleep, eating, trauma, parenting stress, ADHD, or caregiver burden.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Clara helps people address a wide range of concerns including depression, intimacy-related issues, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. She aims to help clients notice small changes that add up to real improvement.

Clara frames therapy as collaboration. She listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. Her approach emphasizes practical steps, steady progress, and building skills that fit each person’s life.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Clara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them, then building practical routines and skills to change behavior. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and daily habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can be useful for grief, chronic stress, and when people want clearer life direction. Attachment-Based ideas are also used when relationship patterns and attachment history affect current problems, helping people understand how past bonds shape present reactions.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Clara listens to what matters most, discusses options, and together they decide which methods to try first. She adjusts strategies over time based on what works and what people prefer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow short, flexible check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use therapeutic tools where they are most needed.
