About Clara

Clara Angulo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She works in both English and Spanish and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, relationship strains, and other life challenges.

She views difficult moments as opportunities to learn about yourself. Clara describes many obstacles as coming from upbringing or relationships that shaped how people cope. In sessions she talks with clients about practical steps to manage strong emotions and everyday pressures.

Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods. Clara uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking that feed anger or anxiety. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and intimacy issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is part of her approach when clients want to clarify values and take small actions that matter to them.

Clara emphasizes straightforward, skills-focused sessions. People leave with exercises to try between meetings, such as short breathing or grounding practices and behavior experiments to test out new responses. She encourages practical change while recognizing that hard emotions are normal and take time to shift.

To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to select online therapy options, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when strong feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anger and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that people can practice between sessions.

Deciding which approach fits happens together. The therapist will use the first sessions to learn about the client's goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps pick practical skills and exercises clients can use outside sessions.

Confirm the session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments. Ask about language options and the session rhythm so the format matches daily life and treatment goals.
