Clara Angulo

Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings ten years of experience to work that centers on helping people regain balance during hard seasons of life. Clara speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Clara uses cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to calm intense emotions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people find value-driven directions when life feels uncertain.

Her background includes work across diverse communities in South Florida. That experience shaped a straightforward style that mixes skill teaching with empathetic listening. Clara believes people grow by facing problems and discovering their own strengths.

Typical concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, and caregiver stress. She also addresses topics like sleep, eating, anger, career strain, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are collaborative and goal minded. Clara helps clients set realistic steps, practice new skills between meetings, and notice progress over time. She encourages people to bring questions and real-life situations into the session so work is immediately useful.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values to move forward. It can help when people are coping with life changes or feeling stuck in uncertainty.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that increase distress and testing new ways of responding. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when concrete tools and homework are helpful.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through techniques like mindfulness and distress tolerance. These skills can be practical during times of intense upset or when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clara will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine approaches collaboratively. This helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and doable from the start.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as those details are set when arranging care. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also let people use phone audio when bandwidth is limited or choose video when visual connection helps the work.
