About Angelica

LICSW, LCSW social worker licensed in Massachusetts with 10 years of clinical experience, Angelica Furtado helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She works in both English and Spanish and aims to make conversations clear and direct. Angelica frames sessions around practical goals and steady problem solving.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and everyday problems. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and on small, testable changes people can try between meetings. Angelica adapts pacing and focus to what a person needs in the moment while keeping sight of longer term goals.

Angelica emphasizes respectful, sensitive dialogue. She will shape the session and the treatment plan with each person’s situation in mind. That includes setting short-term steps and checking progress together.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She asks concrete questions, listens for what is most pressing, and introduces behavioral tools or coping strategies when helpful. She also supports conversations about relationship patterns and about recovering from past harm.

Angelica has worked in clinical settings for a decade and brings that practical experience to sessions. She is licensed in Massachusetts and converses fluently in Spanish and English. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.

How Angelica uses evidence-based approaches online

Angelica works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive approaches help people notice and test unhelpful thinking patterns, and then try different behaviors to see if things feel or work better. These methods are useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.

Behavioral strategies are another common tool she uses. That can include activity scheduling, graded exposures, or small behavior experiments to rebuild routine and reduce avoidance. These steps aim to create measurable shifts that are reviewed in later sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Angelica will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. The decision about which techniques to use is collaborative and revisited over time.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your routine.
