About Clara

Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Florida. She brings ten years of experience and speaks both English and Spanish.

Background and approach

Clara frames therapy as a cooperative, down-to-earth process and aims to help people move past what holds them back. She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and self-esteem.

Clara also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains, work stress, chronic health challenges, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her background includes work across diverse communities in South Florida.

Clara combines several practical approaches in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take workable steps forward.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift thinking and behavior patterns that cause distress. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about connection and trust.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Clara describes the work as collaborative - she helps people set goals, try new strategies, and check which tools actually help.

Her style is nonjudgmental and warm, with clear guidance and concrete skills practice. She also brings attention to special concerns like caregiver stress, first responder issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

People who want practical steps, steady support, and a therapist who speaks Spanish may find her approach helpful.

Approaches for online work and finding the right fit

The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and building stronger interaction patterns, often used when relationship issues and recurring conflicts are present. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles affect current relationships and helps people build healthier ways to connect.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Clara will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to try based on goals, needs, and preferences. She often blends techniques and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people work in real time and use visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support frequent, brief contact and flexible check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to stay consistent with treatment.
