Angela Marasco, LMHC - Therapist in New York

About Angela

Angela Marasco is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, LGBT concerns, and self-esteem or identity struggles.

Angela invites each person to be heard and respected in sessions and aims to make therapy practical and approachable. She began clinical work in 2016 and holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

Background and approach

Over eight years she has used several therapy styles to meet different needs. In sessions she listens first, then offers clear steps clients can try between meetings. Her approach blends evidence-based tools so therapy fits each person.

She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking patterns, dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion skills, and acceptance and commitment therapy to map values and actions. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and patterns that started long ago. Angela emphasizes collaboration.

She helps people set manageable goals, practice skills, and notice small changes that add up. She also supports those facing grief, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, abandonment wounds, codependency, and panic or post-traumatic stress. Sessions can include talk, skill practice, and simple homework to try between meetings.

Angela aims to make therapy feel understandable and focused on what the person wants to change next.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Angela uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a method that can reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood by teaching concrete skills. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationship patterns affect current connections and to build safer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will listen to your concerns, discuss different methods, and help choose techniques that fit your goals and preferences. The therapist and client collaborate on what to try first and check in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter support can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between sessions. Angela uses these formats to keep therapy practical and consistent with each person’s needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
