About Angelica
Angelica Furtado helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma or depression. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, respectful presence to the conversation. Angelica encourages gentle first steps and acknowledges that beginning therapy can feel hard.
She holds a Master of Arts and is licensed as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut.
Background and approach
Angelica has about ten years of professional experience in clinical settings. She adapts the plan of care to fit each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. In sessions she listens for what matters most and builds a plan with clear, practical steps.
That might include learning ways to manage intense feelings, improving how someone talks about relationship problems, or working through the effects of past abuse. She focuses on small skills people can practice between sessions. Angelica aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and compassion.
She explains options in plain language and checks in often to make sure the approach still fits. Progress is paced to the person’s comfort and goals. For people in Massachusetts or Connecticut who prefer English or Spanish, she offers several online formats to make therapy fit daily life.
Taking the first step can feel brave, and Angelica works to make the early appointments easier to navigate.
Practical approaches and flexible online care
Angelica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage difficult feelings and heal from past harm. One common approach focuses on learning concrete skills to reduce anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, activity planning, and step-by-step coping tools to use during high-stress moments. Another approach centers on processing trauma and abuse at a manageable pace, using careful discussion and pacing to reduce overwhelm while addressing the impact of past events.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angelica treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts plans as goals and needs become clearer. She will review options, try techniques together, and change course when something does not fit the person’s life or preferences.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible around daily obligations. Video allows face-to-face interaction and fuller conversation, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat supports brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules and to maintain contact when in-person visits are impractical.
