About Angela
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions center on what the client wants to change and on building skills that can be used between meetings. Angela draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, existential questions, and client-centered listening to shape sessions. She uses these methods to help people name patterns, try new behaviors, and respond differently to hard situations.
Angela has worked with a wide range of concerns over her career, including mood and bipolar issues, addictions, LGBT-related experiences, anger, attachment and personality-related struggles, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She also addresses topics like body image, codependency, and blended family dynamics while respecting each person’s background and values.
Originally trained and licensed as an LCSW in Wisconsin and also holding a Utah LCSW, she brings long-term clinical experience to each meeting. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be seen. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on helping people process and make sense of traumatic events while building skills to reduce distress. It often involves grounding, paced processing, and strategies to manage intense reactions during and between sessions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and perspective. Sessions focus on listening, reflection, and supporting the client to find their own solutions and strengths rather than following a fixed agenda.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by pairing clear goals with practical exercises to use day to day.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what helps most and what feels manageable.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats were not listed in the source profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow steady work on skills between meetings. Ask about the current options when you sign up so you know how sessions will be arranged.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
