Blessings! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a professor at the USC School of Social Work. I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 15 years and mentoring graduate students to become outstanding mental health professionals for almost 20 years. The world can surely seem a dark place at times. One of my greatest joy is to walk alongside you on your journey to wellness in becoming fully human, fully alive. My approach to treatment is not based on pathology or the four 'D's of disease, dysfunction, disorder, and deficit. Rather, through a lovingkindness approach using a dynamic relational model, I desire to explore with you triggers, traumas, strengths, and moments of transformation for realizing and practicing your true self.
Harper Lee, in the novel, To Kill a Mocking Bird writes, "You never really understand another person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb inside his skin and walk around in it." I hope you will allow me to climb into your skin and together explore your past and present for an engaged future/present moment.
Blessings...always.
Rafael C. Angulo, LCSW

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
