I've gone to counseling before, Angel has an approach that is different, yet allows you to face the things that block you. He has a way to sense underlining issues and without being pushy he has a way of opening up the most guarded individuals. I can only speak for myself, but If he can sum me up as quickly as he did, he must have a gift for reading and helping people.

Juan Angel is perceptive, encouraging, and has the ability to help keep you focused on your own emotional state. That may sound obvious, but I've found that his focus on my subjective viewpoint to be particularly cathartic at times. It's amazing how difficult it is to admit the full scale of our own emotions to ourselves at times and Juan has helped me do just that.

More about Juan

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

I strive to empower individuals to be in tune with their deepest truths and to relate to life in a more authentic way. By providing a warm and accepting style, I hope my clients feel safe to express what matters to them. My therapeutic approach is strongly influenced by more than 10 years of dedicated mindfulness practice. Through such practices, I have come to understand the value of becoming curious about our present mental state. I believe paying close attention to our experience is fundamental in developing emotional resiliency. Thus, I utilize mindfulness and somatic approaches in supporting people to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and body sensations. In doing so, I trust that our ability to welcome our experience creates possibilities for healing and being emotionally stronger.

I have over 8 years of experience working in multiple mental health settings with people of different ages, ethnic backgrounds, religious affiliations, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, and various mental health conditions. I welcome people from all walks of life, and have worked with a wide range of clients.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. My educational background includes two masters in psychology.

I specialize in:

- Help with emotional regulation skills

- People with depression and anxiety

- Individuals with mixed cultures or of immigrant descent

- Men looking to enhance their emotional intelligence

- People who want to integrate their spiritual practice with daily life

- Individuals struggling with substance use and other repetitive behaviors

- Mindfulness and Somatic Psychotherapy

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I feel really lucky that I can continue working with Juan, learning from him and with him for few more weeks. He offers an incredible gift of deep compassion, acceptance and wholehearted presence. He cares to understand, asks questions, and listens. Juan is a kind, gentle, sensitive, incredibly intelligent person who offers these virtues generously as professional qualities.

A.N.·Mar 2019

He's a wonderful counselor. Not only does he take his job seriously, he also cares for his patients individually and with the utmost concern.

B.E.·Feb 2019

After having used better help with Juan for a few months now, I can say I surely won't be stopping any time soon. I travel a lot for work and wouldn't be able to be in therapy otherwise. I've gotten so much out of it too, and have suggested it to multiple people who were having a hard time finding a therapist who have gone on to use the service as well!

E.V.·Jan 2019

Juan is one of my favorite people ever as he has played a pivotal role in my growth over this past year. The way he accepted me and gave me the chance to dig deep and identify root causes to the soothing techniques he's taught or refined for me has been truly heartfelt. I look forward to spending 2019 working with Juan and capitalizing on his compassionate and authenticity! I'm only still using BetterHelp because of Juan and my use of the app is directly tied to Juan as my Godsend!

N.Y.·Dec 2018

Juan is fantastic about asking revealing and useful questions, and employing exercises that are leading to really important discoveries around my inabilities to move on.

M.A.·Dec 2018

I would just quickly like to say that Juan has been very helpful during a difficult period. I would recommend him to anyone as he listens and also offers great insight. There is so much more to say. I will need to continue to sing his praises in future reviews.

J.O.·Dec 2018
