Clara Angulo, LCSW

Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She practices in Florida and brings ten years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Clara speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for clients to talk through difficult moments.

She believes hard times can show who we are and open paths to growth. Clara emphasizes practical work on everyday thoughts and habits to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines. She uses straightforward tools to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build small, steady changes.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clarifying values and committing to meaningful actions.

Clara also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections. She uses client-centered listening to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals. Sessions frequently include mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing techniques to strengthen commitment to change.

She has worked across diverse communities in South Florida and addresses a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family issues, parenting stresses, trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career challenges, and more. Clara encourages people to take the first step toward clearer thinking and more manageable daily habits.

Therapeutic approaches that guide online work

Clara commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily routines. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present.

She also incorporates attachment-based perspectives to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. These ideas help when someone is struggling with intimacy, communication, or recurring relational themes. All approaches are described and adapted together so the person and therapist decide what fits best.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Clara will collaborate with each person to set goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Sessions include practical exercises, attention to daily habits, and short mindfulness practices when useful, and adjustments are made based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or offer an option when scheduling around work and caregiving.
