About Angela

Angela DaSilva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience. She uses evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and addiction. Angela focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life and talks through options that feel realistic for each person.

Her work often centers on parenting and family-related concerns along with individual emotional challenges. Sessions emphasize small, usable skills for coping with strong emotions and reducing daily pressure.

Background and approach

She aims for clear goals and steady progress rather than complicated jargon. Angela draws on proven therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. She pays attention to strengths and past successes to build new strategies.

The tone in sessions is collaborative and non-judgmental, with straightforward feedback and concrete plans. Clients can expect a focus on problem-solving, skill building, and safer ways to respond during stressful moments. Angela helps people break big problems into manageable steps.

Her goal is to create habits that make daily life easier and more stable. Based in New York, Angela works with people who want practical help for mood, stress, and addictive patterns. She supports parents and family-focused concerns while keeping therapy centered on the person in the room.

Sessions are offered in English and tailored to fit each client’s needs.

Practical therapeutic techniques for online family and parenting concerns

Angela’s work relies on evidence-based techniques that translate well to online sessions. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Another core method is skill-based coping training, where the focus is on learning step-by-step tools for managing strong emotions, anger, and cravings related to addiction.

Choosing the right method is part of therapy rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. The therapist collaborates with each person to test approaches, adjust techniques, and track what helps most. Together they set goals and pick practices that fit daily routines and family life.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel, phone sessions work when screen time is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging provide check-ins and brief support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into hectic schedules while keeping the work focused on real-life changes.
