About Angela
Angela DaSilva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in New York with 15 years of practice experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, anger, and depression. Angela describes her approach as evidence-based and collaborative, helping people develop practical coping strategies and clearer ways of handling strong emotions.
She works with individuals who want direct tools for managing anxiety and stress. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that lead to overwhelming feelings and testing small changes in daily routines. For concerns about substance use, she helps people set manageable goals and build safer habits over time.
Parenting stress and anger are addressed through concrete communication techniques and problem-solving steps. Angela guides people through ways to reduce reactive responses and improve regular interactions at home. For depression, she helps clients break larger problems into smaller, doable tasks and track progress between meetings.
Her practice emphasizes collaboration. She and the client decide which skills to try and adjust them as needed. The therapist uses research-backed methods while keeping conversation straightforward and practical.
Sessions are described as nonjudgmental and progressive. Clients are invited to bring immediate concerns and specific situations to work on. The focus stays on usable strategies that can be applied the same week.

Evidence-based approaches used in online sessions
Angela emphasizes practical, evidence-based techniques. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. These methods teach steps people can try between sessions to notice changes in mood and behavior.Behavioral techniques are used to change patterns that feed stress and addictions. This can include small behavioral experiments, task-setting, and stepwise habit changes that break large problems into manageable actions. These steps aim to make day-to-day routines easier to navigate.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, current challenges, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps most, and the client stays involved in decisions.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. The practice description does not list specific formats, so check current options when you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and allowing more flexible scheduling choices.
