About Angelle

Angelle Escousse is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of experience supporting people and families. She earned a Master’s degree in Social Work in 1994 and has provided care in settings that included adults, children, and family work. Angelle focuses on mood disorders, trauma, relationship concerns, and parenting.

She aims to meet people where they are and adapt treatment to each family's situation. Angelle uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions.

Background and approach

She listens first, then suggests strategies that fit the problem. Care can include talk work, problem-solving, and tools to manage emotions and behavior. Her approach is flexible so it can change as needs change.

She believes people do the best they can with their circumstances and that growth is possible. In sessions she emphasizes acceptance and empathy while giving honest feedback. That balance helps families make clear, realistic steps forward.

Angelle draws on several evidence-informed approaches when useful. She may use client-centered techniques to build trust, cognitive behavioral steps to reframe thinking and change habits, or emotionally focused work to improve connection. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear when they suit the work.

Based in Louisiana, she offers services in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Approach and online options for family work

Angelle commonly blends client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally focused techniques when working online. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a warm, accepting relationship so families feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits for managing mood, anxiety, and behavior. Emotionally focused therapy targets patterns of connection and helps repair communication and closeness in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Over time the plan can change based on what works best for the family and the issues you bring into sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make regular contact easier. These options let families meet from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and use shorter check-ins when helpful. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver consistent, focused work that matches each family's needs.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
