About Angela
Angela Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana. She brings three years of clinical experience and a background that includes service in the U.S. Navy.
Angela focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship or intimacy issues, and life changes. Her style is warm and interactive. She uses a client-centered, strengths-based approach and blends practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be validating and down-to-earth so people can talk about what matters most to them. Angela often uses straightforward tools between sessions. That can include worksheets, short readings, or creative activities like writing and movement.
These options are chosen together so homework fits daily life and goals. She also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, family problems, parenting strains, sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns. Additional focus areas include blended family issues, caregiver stress, addiction recovery, communication problems, divorce and separation, and financial stress.
Angela prefers a collaborative planning style. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual’s needs and adjusted as progress is made. The goal is practical change - clearer thinking, better coping, and improved relationships.
People who want direct, compassionate guidance and small, doable steps tend to fit well with her approach. Sessions are offered in English and designed to meet everyday challenges without complicated jargon.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Angela combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective so they feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical skills for handling strong emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and building better emotion regulation. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will talk with each person to understand their goals and preferences and then choose or blend methods that fit. That collaborative planning means techniques and homework are matched to what feels most useful and realistic for daily life. Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins, follow-ups, or quick skill reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping focus on steady progress.Frequently asked questions
