About Angela

Angela Marasco, LMHC, helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, parenting strain, ADHD, and relationship and communication problems.

Background and approach

Her approach is focused on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Angela aims for therapy that feels collaborative and steady.

Sessions begin with a clear sense of what matters most to the client and small, doable steps toward those goals. She uses straightforward conversation to untangle painful patterns and build new ways of coping.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful presence and direct tools they can use between sessions. Her background includes eight years of clinical work and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

Angela holds the New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. That experience informs a flexible mix of approaches rather than a single method.

She combines skills from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and attachment-focused ideas to help people examine thoughts and change behaviors. The Gottman Method also informs her thinking about relationship dynamics and communication skills.

Techniques are adapted to each person’s needs rather than applied the same way to everyone. Angela emphasizes strengths and small wins.

She helps clients build coping skills, improve self-esteem, and navigate complicated family or caregiving roles. Therapy sessions move at a pace chosen by the client, with practical exercises and ongoing reflection.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People interested in starting can use the platform’s matching process to connect and schedule their first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive every choice. It encourages identifying values and taking small committed steps toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses; it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and building more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means techniques can be mixed and adjusted over time rather than fixed from the start.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can provide shorter check-ins and flexible communication between longer visits. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
