About Angelle

Angelle Escousse is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Louisiana with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on mood disorders, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. Her practice covers a wide range of problems that often overlap in daily life.

Escousse trained in social work and has worked with people in many settings since completing her Master’s degree in Social Work in 1994. Over three decades she has helped people dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing issues with intimacy, sleeping, anger, and self-esteem.

Her approach adapts to the situation. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Techniques and strategies change depending on the needs a person brings to sessions.

She pays attention to relationship and family patterns, including attachment issues, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care topics, and family of origin problems. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, commitment and control issues, and difficulties related to autism and ADHD when those issues appear in a person’s life.

Escousse emphasizes practical support along with honest feedback. She aims to help people notice patterns, name difficult emotions, and take steps that feel manageable. People looking for help with career strain, compassion fatigue, or coping with life changes will find these are within her stated areas of focus.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotional experiences and the interaction patterns that keep them active. It can help when relationship patterns and hard-to-name feelings cause repeated conflict or distance. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports the person in finding their own solutions and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with change. She will work collaboratively to find the best approach for a person’s goals and preferences rather than insisting on one method. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as needed over time. The therapist’s biography does not specify which session formats she uses online, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a mode that uses less bandwidth.
