About Angel
Angel Damara is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and life changes such as coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She also offers help for concerns like sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and relationships.
Angel practices in Oregon and brings a holistic view to therapy. She blends talk therapy and practical skills so people can handle daily stressors and regain a sense of direction. Sessions aim to be straightforward, calm, and focused on what a person needs now.
Her approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. She draws on spiritual perspectives as part of a transpersonal stance when clients want that included. The work often involves identifying values, building coping skills, and practicing new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings.
Many people coming to her have histories of addiction, trauma, chronic pain or medical conditions, or complicated family histories such as adoption or caregiver stress. Angel has several years of experience in both addiction and mental health settings, and time working with veterans on trauma, insomnia, mood, and related concerns.
Her style emphasizes honesty, open-mindedness, and self-awareness. She invites clients to start where they are and to set goals together. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the Start Therapy button to begin the matching and scheduling steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It often includes simple exercises to notice thoughts and act in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of connecting and relating to others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person's needs. Sessions can mix approaches so work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
Please confirm available session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to use tools like worksheets, guided exercises, and between-session practice that support progress.
