About Angela
Angela Joo is an LCSW licensed in New York and California with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship or parenting concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and Korean.
She focuses on practical, structured work that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques. In conversation she helps clients name patterns, test new responses, and track small changes between sessions.
Her background includes supporting people coping with life transitions, chronic illness, grief, and problems with self-esteem or control. She also addresses issues such as panic attacks, addiction-related concerns, and communication difficulties. Angela pays attention to how attachment experiences shape current relationships and choices.
In session she blends client-centered listening with concrete exercises. That can include behavioral experiments, values-based action planning, and mindfulness practice. She encourages short, doable steps clients can try between meetings to see what helps.
Practical details vary by location and subscription plan. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service button.
How her approaches translate to online work
Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. ACT works with values and committed action, helping people choose steps that match what matters to them even when emotions are difficult. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current communication and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing progress, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to one single method from the start.
Details about session formats should be confirmed before booking. The practice uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. Ask about available session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what will work with your schedule.
