About Angelica

Angelica Curiel-Torres is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She brings eight years of clinical experience to her sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, and big life changes. Angelica speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

She believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on. In sessions she listens first, then helps people name goals that feel realistic and useful.

Background and approach

She uses practical tools to reduce overwhelming feelings and to face everyday challenges more clearly. Angelica draws on several approaches to tailor work to each person. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone is ready to make changes but feels unsure where to start. Her style tends to be direct and caring. She focuses on short-term, goal-oriented work when that fits, while also making room to understand deeper experiences when needed.

Sessions often include clear steps to try between meetings so progress can be tracked. People who appreciate straightforward guidance and practical strategies often find this style helpful. She accepts clients who prefer English or Spanish and offers online formats to suit different schedules.

Online support

How her approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them feel heard and understood while they name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and anger. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone wants to change but feels unsure, using guided conversations to build motivation and small steps toward goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities and progress change.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins easier, and messaging can fit into busy days. These options let people match session style to their schedule and comfort while continuing steady therapeutic progress.
