About Clara
Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with ten years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. Clara aims to help people navigate major life shifts and daily stress with clear, practical steps.
She focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, career stress, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Midlife crisis appears among her listed interests and is one area she can address in therapy conversations.
Clara uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based therapy, and client-centered therapy. In sessions she mixes these methods to match what a person needs, then teaches skills people can use between meetings.
Her style is practical and supportive. She listens, helps name patterns that cause distress, and works with each person to set small, doable goals. Expect straightforward methods like thought tracking, grounding practices, emotion regulation skills, and values-based planning.

How therapy methods shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them. It helps when life feels directionless or when a midlife shift prompts questions about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression by teaching concrete skills for noticing and changing patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be helpful for intense mood swings, anger, or overwhelming stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a break. It also lets people continue regular work on skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or DBT tools to an online setting, focusing on practical exercises, homework, and real-world problem solving to help people move through transitions and everyday stressors.
