About Angela
Angela DaSilva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience in New York. She works directly with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and parenting strain. Angela uses evidence-based methods to help clients learn new ways of coping and responding to difficult emotions.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills. She helps people identify triggers and practice responses that reduce reactivity. Angela talks through real-life situations and builds step-by-step plans for handling tense moments at work and at home.
She also addresses the overlap between mood and behavior. That can mean looking at how anxiety or depression feeds anger, or how substance use affects relationships. The work often includes small behavioral experiments and rehearsal of different responses to stressors.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients can expect clear steps, regular check-ins on progress, and revisions to the plan as needed. Angela emphasizes learning tools that people can use outside of sessions so day-to-day life becomes easier to manage.
People who choose her practice usually want straightforward skills for managing strong feelings. She guides practical change rather than offering quick fixes, and she supports sustained improvements by revisiting strategies over time.
How sessions work
Approach-based online sessions and practical skills
Angela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and emotional regulation. One common approach involves teaching concrete coping skills and step-by-step strategies for managing anger and stress, such as identifying triggers, practicing alternative responses, and rehearsing new behaviors. Another approach emphasizes examining patterns between mood and action, helping people notice how anxiety or depression can increase irritation and then testing small changes to break those patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress is reviewed.
Session formats and scheduling can affect how therapy fits daily life. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow short check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them practice skills in the context of their everyday routine.
