Angela Fleischer, LCSW

Angela Fleischer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oregon who brings a blend of clinical practice, policy work, and training experience to her therapeutic work. She holds Oregon licensure and reports ten years of formal clinical experience while also having engaged extensively with survivors of sexual violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, and childhood sexual abuse across a longer span of practice. Her background includes leadership roles such as Director of Equity Grievance and Title IX Coordinator at Southern Oregon University and founding and administering campus-focused response programs.

In addition to campus work, she consults with Veracities to train interviewers in trauma-informed forensic interviewing and has served on faculty for Being Trauma Informed and the National Center for Campus Public Safety, teaching trauma-informed investigation methods. She contributes to community and policy efforts as a founding board member of the You Have Options Program, an executive board member of the Jackson County Council Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, and a participant on the Oregon Attorney General’s Sexual Assault Task Force. She has provided testimony before the Federal Senate Judiciary Committee on matters related to crime and terrorism and continues to collaborate with lawmakers on policy development.

Clinically, Angela has extensive experience helping people living with post-traumatic stress, including first responders, military personnel, and medical and fire safety professionals. She also works with families and adolescents to improve communication and navigate difficult dynamics, and supports clients with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting challenges, career and life transitions, and issues related to LGBT identity. Her approach emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental setting where thoughts and feelings can be explored and clients are supported in taking courageous steps toward greater well-being.

Trauma-Informed and Practical Approaches for Online Care

Angela Fleischer draws on trauma-informed principles to guide therapeutic work, emphasizing understanding of how past harm affects present behavior and relationships. This approach focuses on recognizing trauma responses and creating ways to process difficult experiences while supporting safety and empowerment. She also integrates trauma-focused interventions that help people address symptoms of post-traumatic stress and work through memories, reactions, and coping patterns in a paced, evidence-informed way. In addition, she uses coaching and skills-based strategies to help clients build practical tools for stress management, communication, and relationship challenges, which can be especially helpful for career transitions, parenting, and midlife adjustments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to try techniques that feel like a good fit, adjusting the plan as progress and feedback guide the work. Clients are supported in making decisions about pace and focus throughout therapy.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those who prefer remote care. These formats allow consistent access to licensed professionals and make it easier to maintain momentum in therapy while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
