About Angela
Angela Joo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York and California with five years of direct clinical experience. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical next steps people can use between meetings.
Her work uses several common therapeutic approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Mindfulness-based practices are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactive patterns. Attachment-based ideas help look at how past relationships influence current connections.
Angela works with everyday life challenges such as career changes, money and financial stress, midlife concerns, and coping with illness or chronic pain. She also supports people dealing with divorce, separation, loneliness, guilt, and issues around forgiveness. Cultural and multicultural concerns are part of her practice, and she offers sessions in English and Korean.
Her style is client-centered and practical. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make small, workable changes. Angela asks about what is happening in daily life and helps people test new ways of coping that fit their routines.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions run on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and taking small action steps toward what matters. It helps when people feel stuck by avoidance or strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit daily life. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session formats before booking if you need a specific option. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and offer alternatives when travel or timing is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices so they work between sessions and in everyday settings.
