Angela Marasco, LMHC

Angela Marasco is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting strain. She also supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to caregiving and cancer. Angela practices from New York and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work.

She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and building practical skills to manage difficult feelings. Angela emphasizes strength-based work and supports people as they try new ways of responding to old patterns.

Her approach blends several methods to match the person in front of her. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy help people notice and change unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships shape current reactions and closeness. Dialectical and acceptance-focused strategies offer tools for handling intense emotion and staying committed to values.

In sessions Angela aims for clear, manageable goals. She helps people practice coping skills, improve communication, and reduce panic or overwhelming stress. The work often includes gentle exploration of past hurts and learning new ways to relate to oneself and others.

People who are caring for a loved one may find her focus on caregiver stress and life purpose relevant. Angela invites each person to set the pace and to celebrate progress along the way.

How Angela's approaches translate to online work

Angela often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors; this approach is practical for anxiety, panic, and depression. Attachment-based therapy is another thread in her work and focuses on understanding how early relationship patterns affect current closeness and communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Angela works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about what's working so the plan reflects the client's preferences and progress.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports continuing work through major life events and caregiving demands while maintaining a collaborative therapeutic plan.
