About Clara
Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida. She brings ten years of experience and speaks both English and Spanish. Clara aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, or life changes.
She focuses on clear, short-term skills and honest conversation. Sessions often include breathing and mindfulness techniques, thought-focused strategies, and work on building routines. Clara uses straightforward language so people can try strategies between sessions.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in diverse South Florida settings. That experience shaped her ability to work with many concerns, from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue.
Clara draws from several well-known approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-informed ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and dialectical-behavioral skills. She adapts these methods to each person's goals and pace. The aim is practical change rather than labels or long explanations.
People describe her style as warm and straightforward. She helps clients learn concrete ways to manage emotions, improve communication, and make choices that match their values. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on appointment times. Clara practices as FL LCSW SW14221 and works with adults in Florida in both English and Spanish.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
The therapist commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions because it centers action alongside acceptance.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build better routines for mood, sleep, or behavior challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques if something does not feel helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet those goals. Video calls allow fuller conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quicker check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching and reminders. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and try different formats as needs change.
