About Clara
Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida. She has ten years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Clara speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and clear for those who seek help.
She focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. Clara draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice patterns, manage emotions, and make values-based choices.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth rather than full of clinical jargon. Clara often helps people dealing with relationship strain, anger, self-esteem issues, and changes at work or home. She also supports those facing trauma, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and health-related challenges.
Her work includes attention to attachment concerns and family of origin issues when relevant to a person's goals. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She encourages small, manageable steps and uses practical exercises you can try between sessions.
Clara works collaboratively to tailor strategies to each person's life and routines. Clara offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session based on therapist availability.

How Clara’s methods translate to online therapy
Clara uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful when stress, anxiety, or mood problems come from patterns of thinking and day-to-day habits.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT can be helpful for managing strong emotions, anger, and relationship conflicts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another tool she uses to clarify values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Clara works with each person to see what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. She may begin with one method and adapt it over time based on what proves most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit busy schedules and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other obligations.
