About Angelica
Angelica Curiel-Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings eight years of practice to her work in California. She focuses on common, upsetting problems like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and career concerns. She also addresses self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with big life changes.
Her style centers on listening first. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths that can be used to move forward.
How Angelica works
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with time spent on what will help most in day-to-day life. Angelica uses techniques from Client-Centered Therapy to build understanding and trust. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck and want help finding motivation to change. She also incorporates Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful stories about themselves. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions.
These approaches are applied flexibly to match each person’s needs. Angelica offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. She frames the work as a partnership and helps people take practical steps toward feeling better.
To begin, a brief matching process is used so appointments can be scheduled based on availability.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities first. In online sessions Angelica listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify their own goals and strengths. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In remote sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, test new ways of responding, and practice small behavior changes between meetings. This method works well for anxiety, stress, and problem-solving around daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angelica will collaborate with each person to choose or mix methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts strategies so the plan stays relevant and achievable.
Online sessions offer flexibility with several formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care and keep momentum toward goals.
