About Angel
Angel Damara is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting pressures, relationship struggles, and issues like addiction or sleep problems. Angel works in Oregon and conducts sessions in English.
Her style mixes practical skills with attention to how people attach to others. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and to help people feel steadier in close connections.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, and dialectical behavior strategies to build coping skills and change unhelpful habits. Angel describes her work as collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning breathing and mindfulness practices, and trying small behavior changes between meetings.
She pays attention to how past losses, abandonment, adoption or caregiving stress shape daily life and relationships. Her background includes long experience in addictions and mental health care and several years working with veterans on PTSD, insomnia, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, and related concerns. That clinical history informs how she blends symptom-focused techniques with relationship-focused work.
Clients can expect a straightforward approach that balances skills training with exploration of personal meaning. Angel emphasizes self-awareness, honest conversation, and practical tools to help people meet their goals and improve day-to-day functioning.

Online support
How attachment work and skills-based therapy translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional reactions; online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and committing to actions that match one’s values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as skills build and priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a longer conversation or visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, skill practice, or brief processing between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or health needs.
