About Angel
Angel Ouza is a Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Angel offers a direct, compassionate style that mixes practical tools with coaching and emotional support.
She adapts her approach to each person’s needs and focuses on mindset, transitions, and healing from relationship harms such as narcissistic abuse. Sessions can include coaching, homework, guided reflection, and gentle challenge to shift perspective. Angel names compassion and honest feedback as central to her way of working.
Angel draws from several therapy approaches to shape a plan for each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Emotionally-Focused practices, and Client-Centered methods. She also incorporates tools she has found helpful in her practice, and tailors them to the issue at hand.
She has extensive real-life experience with travel and life transitions, which she says informs her empathy and openness. Angel supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, codependency, abandonment concerns, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster among other areas.
Angel notes that she offers voice-only sessions. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and when someone wants to build a more meaningful daily routine.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems like sleep or low mood by teaching practical exercises and homework.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping strategies. It is helpful when someone needs steady tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.
Note that the therapist’s biography indicates she offers voice-only sessions. Confirm the current session options before booking if you prefer a different format. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can slot into work breaks or caregiving schedules.
