Angela Jensen-Ramirez, LCSW-S, she/her/hers
Counseling for Individuals & Couples in Austin, Texas and Online for all of Texas
Hi! I’m Angela.
If you are ready to heal yourself and your relationships, I’m here to help.
With over 10 years experience, I help couples and individuals to move past the anger and insecurities that are holding them back so they can feel whole and belonging, in their day to day lives, their bodies, and their most intimate moments.
Why My Clients Choose Me For Couples and Sex Therapy
You are tired. Tired after everything that’s happened. Tired of everything leading to anger and hurt. You want to get past it all and feel close to one another again.
Together, we will work to make things to feel safer, closer, and more alive–in intimacy, partnering, and living out your dreams. Through either individual or couples therapy, I can help you learn how to communicate and manage disagreements even when things have gotten really bad.
Life events like having a baby, a sexual abuse history, or depression shouldn’t keep you from a life of connection.Â
Reviews For Angela
“Angela is amazing! Warm, insightful, caring, experienced and creative. She is the person I would trust to ‘be there’ when something difficult and heavy has happened. Did I mention she’s also a skilled couples counselor?”
“Angela is an incredible and compassionate therapist. She provides wonderful support to not only yourself but to everyone in the family. She is always warm and attentive and highly recommended if you’re looking for a knowledgeable and caring therapist.”
“I can’t even begin to tell you how much Angela has changed my life and thinking. If you are on the fence — DO IT! I thought maybe we would do a few sessions and get something useful out of it. Years later and I am still with her, struck by how many eye-opening ideas and perspectives she still has given me.”
Healing happens in relationship — with others, and with yourself.
Why Seek Relationship Support Now?
Most couples wait six years after problems begin before asking for help. By then, small disconnections have become deep ones.
The good news: relationships (with yourself & others) can heal — at any stage.
As a licensed therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most research-supported approaches to couples work, I help partners understand the emotional cycles pulling them apart — and rebuild the secure bond underneath.
The sooner you reach out, the more you have to work with. Don’t wait until love feels like a last resort.
Your relationship is worth it. So are you.
Why I Love Being a Couples and Individual Therapist
Relationships are where we’re most ourselves — and most vulnerable.
I get to sit with people in that tender space. Whether you’re a couple trying to find your way back to each other, or an individual untangling who you are in love and intimacy, this work matters deeply to me.
I love watching the moment something shifts. When two people stop fighting against each other and start reaching for each other. When someone finally feels at home in their own body and story.
That’s the privilege of this work. And I never take it for granted.
Feeling Distant? Couples Intensives for Intimacy and Emotional Connection in Austin
Something shifted. You can feel it — even if you can’t name it yet.
Emotional disconnection and intimacy don’t exist in separate rooms. They live in the same relationship.
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and integrated sex therapy, Angela’s intensives help couples find their way back — to each other, and to themselves — in a concentrated, private, deeply supported experience.
You don’t have to keep wondering if it can get better.

Who I Help
Couples at a Crossroads
You still love each other — but lately, that doesn’t feel like enough.
Whether you’re navigating betrayal, growing apart, or simply feeling more like roommates than partners, I help couples break painful cycles and rebuild something stronger than what was there before.
Every relationship has its own story — its own strengths, pressures, and turning points. I work with couples who are ready to stop going through the motions and start showing up for each other again.
I work with all couples, and I have a particular passion for supporting women who love women.
Infidelity Repair
What happened doesn’t have to be the end of your story.
Betrayal in a relationship can feel earth-shattering. You didn’t just lose trust. You may have lost your safest person.
Whether you were the one who strayed or the one left reeling, healing is possible — but it takes more than time. It takes honest conversation, a willingness to understand why it happened, and a guide who won’t rush you through the hard parts.
I help couples move through the wreckage of affairs without losing themselves or each other in the process.
Adults Seeking Themselves
Sometimes the most important relationship to heal is the one with yourself.
Whether you’re untangling questions of identity, desire, or self-worth — or simply trying to feel at home in your own story again — the path forward doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Your experiences are your own, and so is your healing.
I work with individuals who are ready to stop shrinking and start understanding themselves more fully, especially when life has made that feel complicated.
I have a particular passion for empowering women who are finding — or reclaiming — who they are.”
You Deserve a Specialist
Not every therapist is trained to work with relationships, intimacy, and identity together. Angela holds advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and sex therapy, as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) — three of the most research-supported approaches available. She brings both to every session, whether you come alone or with a partner.
This isn’t general therapy. It’s precise, compassionate, and built around what actually works.
