Angela Marasco, LMHC

Angela Marasco is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and trauma. She also helps people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, self-esteem, and issues related to identity and attachment. Angela aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly and feel heard.

Angela began practicing in 2016 after earning a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and uses practical tools to address day-to-day problems. Her work emphasizes clear steps people can try between appointments to see real change.

Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-focused methods with client-centered listening. That means sessions may include looking at unhelpful thought patterns, clarifying values, and improving how people relate to others. She aims for a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work.

Angela also uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation and communication, and she draws on Gottman ideas for relationship concerns. Those tools are offered in straightforward ways, with exercises tailored to each person’s situation. Progress is paced to what feels manageable for the individual.

People who come to Angela can expect practical strategies, steady encouragement, and plain-language explanations. She supports building coping skills, increasing self-awareness, and creating plans to handle stressors. The focus is on small, sustainable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

How online therapy and approaches work together

Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce panic, anxiety, and depressive patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action in line with those values while learning to live with difficult feelings.

She also integrates Attachment-Based ideas to address patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current interactions. That work often involves identifying relational patterns and practicing new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected. Together these approaches are offered in a collaborative way so the client and therapist pick methods that fit the person’s goals and comfort level.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations, while phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help fit therapy into busy days.
