About Clara

Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with a decade of clinical experience. She brings a practical, person-focused approach informed by evidence-based therapies and a history of working in diverse South Florida communities.

Background and approach

Clara emphasizes exploring how upbringing, relationships, and life transitions shape current struggles and strengths. Her style blends compassion with structured skill-building to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem challenges, and a range of life changes.

She draws on approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Clara aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can identify obstacles, build coping skills, and work toward meaningful growth.

Fluent in English and Spanish, she offers flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Clara works with issues that include relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiving and chronic illness stress, career and commitment questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

How Clara Combines Therapeutic Approaches Online

Clara draws from Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core frameworks. Internal Family Systems helps people map inner parts and understand internal conflicts, which can be useful for trauma responses, identity concerns, and recurring emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and action, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Clara works with each person to explore which methods resonate, adapting techniques to match the client’s goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring to sessions. This means therapy can emphasize insight work, skills training, or a mix tailored to progress over time.

Online therapy with Clara is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access bilingual support in English or Spanish from a licensed professional in Florida.
