About Clara

Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with a decade of clinical experience. She brings a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy and emphasizes helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Comfortable working in English and Spanish, she draws on several well-established methods to help clients develop coping skills and greater emotional clarity. Her style combines goal-oriented strategies with an empathetic, client-centered stance.

Clara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based techniques, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor sessions to individual needs. She aims to foster insight, strengthen coping resources, and support people facing relationship challenges, trauma, caregiver strain, chronic health issues, and other complex concerns.

Clara presents therapy as a collaborative process that balances practical tools with personal exploration. She offers multiple session formats and works with clients to identify strategies that fit their circumstances, helping them move toward clearer values, improved functioning, and a more satisfying daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Clara frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more balanced perspectives while teaching practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she applies; it helps people clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and commit to meaningful actions even when emotions are uncomfortable. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her toolkit and centers on understanding relational patterns and improving emotional safety in close relationships.

Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address, then adjusts methods over time so treatment matches those needs and evolving priorities.

Online therapy can make that collaborative work more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when in-person meetings are not practical, while phone sessions can fit into busy schedules. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing check-ins and skills practice between synchronous sessions. These flexible formats support consistent progress while accommodating varied lifestyles and commitments.
