About Angelica
Angelica Rubio is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice.
Background and approach
She helps people explore what is going well in their lives and what may benefit from deeper attention, guiding clients toward greater emotional balance and a clearer sense of purpose. Angelica blends structured skill-building with an empathetic, client-focused stance to support measurable changes in mood, stress management, and relationship functioning.
Her work addresses symptoms such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress, and she offers support for major life transitions including job changes, new relationships, and immigration-related adjustments. Angelica attends to cultural and practical challenges that can arise during transitions, offering approaches that aim to increase acceptance, confidence, and daily coping.
She incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and skills-based strategies to help clients build resilience, strengthen communication, and maintain gains over time.
Online approaches that combine skills and empathy
Angelica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative, more effective behaviors; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. She also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the client’s goals and lived experience, creating space for self-exploration and building self-compassion. Additionally, she integrates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness can support a client’s goals.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angelica works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so the therapeutic plan aligns with what is most helpful in practice. Clients can expect an open dialogue about what strategies feel most useful and adjustments as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options allow for flexible pacing, regular check-ins, and varied ways to practice skills between sessions, supporting continuity of care for people managing work, family, or relocation challenges.
