Angel Ramos Estrada

Angel Ramos Estrada

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Killeen, TX


My name is Angel Ramos Estrada, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of Keystone Clinical Services PLLC. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, families, and veterans navigate life's challenges while fostering resilience, healing, and personal growth.

Before becoming a social worker, I proudly served over 20 years in the United States Army. My military experience shaped my values of integrity, compassion, and service, which continue to guide my work as a therapist. Throughout my career, I have worked in school social work, hospice care, and outpatient mental health, providing support to clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to identify their strengths and achieve meaningful change.

As a bilingual clinician fluent in English and Spanish, I am committed to making quality mental health care accessible to diverse communities. I believe every individual has the capacity for growth, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they work toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.
