About Clara

Clara Angulo is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Florida. She brings ten years of experience and speaks both English and Spanish. Clara centers her work on helping people find more balance and better sleep when life feels overwhelming.

She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or parenting strains. Clara listens for how upbringing and close relationships shape daily habits and emotional patterns. She helps clients notice what gets in the way of rest and recovery and try small changes that can make nights and days easier.

Clara uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior ideas alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She draws on attachment-focused thinking to look at how connections influence mood and sleep. Sessions focus on clear skills, short experiments, and steady progress rather than long lectures.

Her work also addresses challenges like ADHD, chronic pain or illness, compassion fatigue, career stress, and major life transitions. Clara pays attention to issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping, abandonment, and caregiver stress when these come up in therapy.

People who want a supportive listener and a collaborative plan may find Clara’s style helpful. She encourages questions and practical steps you can try between sessions to improve coping and rest.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Clara often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotions and behavior, which can clarify why patterns repeat in relationships and affect rest and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Clara will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. She adjusts tools based on what helps you make small changes and get better sleep or emotional balance over time.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and skills coaching between meetings to support sleep and stress management.
