About Angel
Angel Ouza is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 19 years of experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem issues, grief, trauma and major life transitions. Her focus includes relationship and family concerns, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and other challenges that show up at home and work.
Angel uses a mix of practical therapies and coaching. Sessions often include mindset work, coping skills, and sometimes homework to build new habits. She blends techniques to fit where a person is right now and to address trauma, anxiety, or low self-worth.
Her style is direct and solution-focused while also offering listening and support. She mentions tools such as Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems elements, and approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Angel also uses intuitive coaching methods and occasional card work when clients are open to it.
She notes particular interest in helping people who have experienced narcissistic abuse and those who identify as highly sensitive. Angel describes herself as someone who balances honest feedback with guidance to shift perspective and move toward concrete goals.
Practical details noted in her profile include that sessions are voice only. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the platform.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying out new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It tends to be practical and skill-based, with exercises you can use between meetings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. That discussion is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Her profile notes sessions are voice only, so confirm current session options before booking if you need a different format. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. They also let someone work with a licensed professional from their own location and focus on developing skills and strategies that transfer into daily life.
