Angel Damara, LCSW, LICSW

Angel Damara is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, LICSW) with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and related concerns like abandonment and attachment issues.

Angel mixes practical techniques with a wider view of healing. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches. She also brings a transpersonal perspective that weaves spiritual awareness into sessions when that fits the person’s goals.

Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Angel uses skills for emotion regulation, strategies to manage sleep and anxiety, and tools to address patterns in relationships. She emphasizes self-awareness and honest, nonjudgmental conversation to help people find more meaning and direction.

Angel spent several years working in Veterans health, helping with PTSD symptoms, insomnia and nightmares, chronic pain, bipolar disorder, and addiction concerns. That work added experience with complex, co-occurring difficulties and long-term care issues.

She practices in Oregon and offers therapy in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Angel’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and gives concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns useful for depression, sleep problems, and some addiction issues.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions may combine skill practice, reflective conversation, and goal-setting so people can try new strategies between meetings.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them use learned techniques in real time and maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, or medical appointments.
