“Angel is an excellent listener, a wonderful mindfulness guide, and provides clear and understandable information and exercises. He always checks in to make sure the information he is sharing is understood, and he always tries to relate the exercises back to the specific situations and experiences that I'm going through. He is one of the best therapists that I've ever worked with!”

Getting to know Angel Ramos

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Long Beach, California, and I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with Adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, LGBTQIA+ issues, and substance use disorders using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy to help my clients reduce their suffering and start feeling better. My approach My approach to therapy is eclectic and affirming, tailored to the needs of the clients with whom I work. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, collaborate to build skills that help them to be more effective, and allow us to work together to chart a path forward. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for LGBTQIA+ adults who may be dealing with emotional/behavioral dysregulation, interpersonal conflict, and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and alcohol/substance use disorders. I work to help my clients navigate these challenges and build skills that allow them to feel better and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is warm, empathic, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I am naturally curious and have always wanted to help people. I like understanding the strengths that people have and how these strengths help to build resilience. Whether it was at work, volunteering in my community, or at home, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves by tapping into the strengths that, at times, may be overlooked.
