Clara Angulo, LCSW

Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She brings ten years of experience and a warm, nonjudgmental approach. Clara speaks English and Spanish and aims to help people move past problems that get in the way of living the life they want.

Clara believes difficult moments can reveal sources of strength. She helps people name what’s causing pain, then finds practical steps to reduce suffering and build more satisfying daily routines. Her work addresses stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes among other concerns.

Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavioral skills for managing intense emotions, and acceptance-based strategies to clarify personal values. Clara also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ways of working to strengthen relationships and increase self-awareness.

Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life skills. Clara often uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to support small, sustainable changes. She also helps people who are facing trauma and abuse related challenges to rebuild safety and control in day-to-day life.

She has worked across diverse communities in South Florida and brings that cultural awareness into session. Clara encourages people to move at a pace that feels right while trying practical steps between meetings. To begin, she asks clients to identify goals and priorities so therapy stays connected to everyday needs and responsibilities.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Clara works from approaches that emphasize clear goals, emotional regulation, and personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, centers on skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help people feeling overwhelmed or reactive.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Clara will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to make decisions collaboratively and to adjust techniques if something is not helpful.
