About Angelle

Angelle Escousse is a licensed clinical social worker with three decades of practice since earning a Master’s in Social Work in 1994. She has worked across settings with adults, children, and families, developing deep experience with mood disorders, trauma, relational concerns, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Angelle emphasizes adaptability in treatment and selects strategies that match each person’s circumstances and presenting needs. Her approach grows from a core belief that people do the best they can with the situations they face and that change is possible through guided effort.

She blends empathy and clear, practical feedback to help clients move toward their goals, drawing on methods such as Internal Family Systems, client-centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, emotionally focused work, and mindfulness practices.

Angelle frames therapy as a collaborative process and tailors interventions to individual strengths, aiming to create a caring atmosphere where clients feel accepted and supported while exploring change.

Approach-Focused Online Care and Practical Therapy Options



Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people gently explore different internal parts or self-states, aiming to improve internal harmony and address trauma or relational patterns by listening to how various parts influence thoughts and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify unhelpful thinking and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s experience, using empathy and acceptance to support self-directed growth and stronger decision-making.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, trying methods and adjusting strategies until a good fit emerges and feels useful in everyday life.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make regular work on concerns easier to maintain. These options allow scheduling that fits busy lives and can support continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to guide skills practice, process emotions, and track progress between meetings.
