About Clara

Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Florida. She brings 10 years of experience and offers care in both English and Spanish. Clara presents a calm, nonjudgmental presence and aims to help people untangle difficult moments so they can move forward.

She focuses on practical, step-by-step work in sessions. Clara uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to support values-driven choices and healthier connections.

Background and approach

Clara treats a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting, relationship and intimacy-related problems, sleep and eating difficulties, and ADHD. Her background includes helping people cope with life changes, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career-related challenges. She also addresses issues such as forgiveness, abandonment, and family of origin problems.

In sessions she works collaboratively to set clear goals. People can expect straightforward strategies, emotion regulation skills, and exercises to practice between meetings. Clara explains techniques in everyday language and adapts them to each person’s situation.

Her practice supports people looking for focused, practical help in managing emotions and improving daily routines. She offers several online session formats to suit different schedules and communication preferences.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. This approach is practical for depression, worry, sleep problems, and many daily habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and conflicts. It often helps when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clara will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is working and what is not.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let people fit care around school, work, and family life and practice skills in real time. Licensed professionals can guide skill-building, coach through exercises, and check progress without requiring travel to an office.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
