About Angelica
Angelica Curiel-Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings eight years of professional experience to her practice in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and anger. She also supports those facing relationship strain, changes in life circumstances, career questions, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She uses a straightforward, person-centered style. Angelica believes clients are the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and aimed at small, manageable steps rather than big, abstract goals. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses narrative and solution-focused techniques to reshape how people see their problems and find concrete ways forward.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change. In a typical session she listens first, then offers tools and experiments to try between meetings. She helps people set simple goals, track progress, and adjust the plan when needed.
This makes therapy feel collaborative and goal-oriented. Angelica offers services in English and Spanish and works with clients via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Angelica blends a few practical approaches to help people change difficult patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can identify their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering clear exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new actions. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels unsure about change, helping to clarify reasons for change and build motivation collaboratively.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Angelica will start by hearing your story, goals, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. She adapts plans over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t, so the process stays collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit short updates, quick coaching between sessions, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
