More about Angel

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I actively work as a School Social Worker in Illinois. I am a LCSW in Illinois and Indiana. Prior to the COVID crisis , I worked as a subcontractor for providing home based therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. Working in the school realm has provided me with the opportunity to be a crisis interventionist, a change agent, and a community liaison. Yet working as a therapist allowed me strengthen my case-management skills, utilize various interventions, and individualize treatment for each client served. Abandonment, neglect, abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, undiagnosed mental health disorders, domestic violence, and substance abuse are some of the challenges faced by the clients' I have served.

I believe in the importance of building a rapport, setting boundaries, and developing a therapeutic alliance. I am a great listener, genuine, and empathetic to my clients' needs.

I was born to be a Social Worker! I do not take the calling on my life to help others for granted. I am so excited to take this journey with you. I believe that remote treatment is going to revolutionize mental health.

It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments.

Angel is literally an Angel in my life. I started BetterHelp in a very low place where I lost what I thought was everything in my life. I know the first month I didn’t always see eye to eye with her words and exercises but keeping an open mind I have grown and learned so many new and valuable things that have changed my perception on life forever. I would not have even an ounce of the confidence and strength I have today without her. Her techniques and questions she’s used and asked me will stick with me about how I think of every job, every relationship and every new beginning in my life and I am forever grateful to her. I highly recommend her and BetterHelp to anyone. Everyone needs someone like her in their life.
