Angel Ouza is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with 19 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She works with clients who want practical coaching, help with self-esteem, or guidance managing compassion fatigue and caregiving stress. Angel emphasizes small, steady steps toward feeling better and offers a warm, accepting presence during difficult times.

Her approach is flexible and client-centered. She adapts methods to each person’s needs and often blends cognitive behavioral tools with emotion-focused work. Angel names mindset, trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, and transitions as central focuses and brings direct coaching alongside therapeutic listening.

Angel also integrates experiential and somatic tools when appropriate. She mentions approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. She may use homework, intuitive coaching, and coaching-style conversations to help clients practice new skills between meetings.

She speaks openly about having faced her own life changes and travel experiences, which inform her compassionate, nonjudgmental style. Angel aims to create a space where people feel heard and respected regardless of their beliefs. Her goal is to help clients notice their own strengths and make steady progress toward their goals.

Note: sessions are voice only, so confirm current session options before booking.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, value-driven steps toward those goals. It often focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while building habits that support the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotional responses and improving how people connect and communicate with themselves and others, which can help with relationship and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That may mean blending approaches and adjusting over time as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and caregiving, shortened transition time compared with in-person visits, and the ability to keep regular check-ins during life changes. Because the biography describes voice only sessions, confirm whether that format meets your needs before booking. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can fit into your routine and what to expect from remote meetings so you can make a good match.
