About Angel
Angel Damara is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience in mental and behavioral health. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, codependency, and struggles with sleep and intimacy. Angel also supports those facing parenting challenges, grief, career shifts, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She practices in Oregon and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what changes feel doable. Angel listens without judgment and encourages self-awareness and small, steady steps toward goals.
Her approach blends several well-known therapies with a broader, transpersonal perspective that includes spiritual wisdom when clients want that. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, among other methods. Those tools are used to reduce distress, improve coping, and strengthen relationships.
Angel spent many years working in addictions and mental health settings and more than six years supporting Veterans with PTSD, insomnia, anxiety, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, and related concerns. That background informs clear, practical techniques for managing symptoms and everyday problems.
Sessions aim to help people build skills while also exploring meaning and values. Angel emphasizes honesty, openness, and collaboration so clients can move from surviving to living with more purpose and connection.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Angel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify what matters most and take committed action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and codependency when a person wants to live more in line with their values.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect present-day trust and closeness. This approach can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, blended family stress, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angel will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaboration lets the therapy shift when something is or is not helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people appreciate remote options because they fit more easily into a workday, reduce travel time, and can allow shorter check-ins on busy days. Confirm the available session types and schedule to see how they might fit into your routine.
