Claudio Andrés Cáceres Araya, MSW, LCSW, provides therapy services to students at the Gillings School of Global Public Health as part of UNC’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) Embedded Counselor Program. Cáceres was born and raised in Santiago, Chile, and moved to the United States in 2009. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, he has worked with diverse communities and organizations in both countries. He has practiced clinical social work since 2014, including working with the University of North Carolina-Greensboro Counseling and Psychological Services for several years. In addition to his experience working as a therapist with university students, Cáceres earned his Master of Social Work from the UNC School of Social Work in 2013, which provided him with a firsthand perspective of being a student at UNC-Chapel Hill. Cáceres is highly accessible for Gillings students, both in terms of proximity and availability. Students can make appointments with Cáceres by emailing him directly, with the choice of remote or in-person appointments depending on individual preference. He is a generalist counselor, which allows him to work with students on a wide range of issues, and he offers services in both Spanish and English. Furthermore, Cáceres can work with students in an ongoing capacity or can refer students to other therapists, depending on each student’s needs. Outside of his work, Cáceres enjoys soccer, outdoor activities, and playing with his kids and pets.
