Angel Damara is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and relationship concerns. She brings 17 years of experience in mental and behavioral health and aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. Clients can expect a calm, honest approach that focuses on what’s happening now and what matters most to them.
Damara blends talk therapy with practical tools. She uses methods from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavior approaches to teach skills for handling difficult thoughts and emotions. She also draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior.
Her background includes work at the VA where she supported people with PTSD, insomnia and nightmares, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, addictions, and other mental health concerns. That experience informs a steady, practical style that emphasizes coping skills, sleep support, and managing intense emotions.
Therapy sessions are collaborative. The therapist listens first, then helps people set short-term goals and build step-by-step plans to meet them. Mindfulness and grounding exercises are used alongside strategies for changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.
Angel holds both LCSW and LICSW credentials and trained with a Master of Social Work. She practices in Oregon and provides care in English. To begin, people choose the continue button on this profile, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and clarify what matters most. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, life transitions, and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with depression, sleep problems, and chronic pain management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting the plan as you go. Together you will prioritize what to work on first, and decide which tools to practice between sessions.
