About Angela
Angela Walloga is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of professional experience in Virginia. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and those navigating relationship and family strain. She also supports people coping with trauma, abuse, and concerns about self-esteem and infidelity.
Her approach is warm and straightforward. She treats people with respect and compassion and builds conversations around each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped to match what someone wants to work on rather than following a fixed formula. Angela uses practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work to help people notice patterns, try new skills, and handle hard emotions. She explains tools in clear language and helps people practice them between sessions when that fits their goals.
She aims for a collaborative tone in sessions, so people feel heard while also learning strategies they can apply day to day. Angela helps set small, concrete goals and checks in about what is improving and what still feels hard. Taking the first step can be difficult, and she encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable.
If someone wants steady, practical support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or past trauma, Angela offers a calm, focused place to start the work.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathy, asks questions to understand what matters most, and shapes sessions around each person's goals and pace. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and stress. CBT is often helpful for practical problem solving and short-term symptom relief.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It teaches skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that can be useful after trauma or during relationship conflict.
Angela will work together with each person to figure out which approach, or mix of approaches, fits best. She checks goals, reviews what helps, and adjusts methods as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can fit a short check-in or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can provide brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, school, or family commitments.
