Angela Walloga, LCSW

Angela Walloga is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and low self-esteem. She practices in Virginia and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people who are taking the first steps toward change.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first and adapts conversations to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals rather than long lectures.

Angela often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and then try small, manageable changes. She also draws on client-centered ideas to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities and preferences. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

In a typical meeting she works with clients to set realistic objectives and practices techniques together during the session. Homework or small experiments between sessions are common so progress is steady and measurable. She is careful to tailor plans to each person's life and pace.

Angela supports people through difficult transitions, relationship setbacks including infidelity, and recovery after trauma. She aims to help clients build stronger coping strategies, clearer communication, and more confidence in their choices.

Online therapy approaches and practical options

Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and stress. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for worries, low mood, and relationship patterns.

She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and adapting the work to what the person finds most helpful. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are included when people need concrete tools for emotion regulation and managing conflict.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Angela will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process helps find methods that fit the person's life and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people check in quickly, share progress, and get brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
