Background and approach
Angela listens for what is getting in the way and then helps people try different ways to cope and make changes. Her work draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, existential therapy, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to address mood changes, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, and challenges tied to sexual or gender identity.
Angela adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs. Angela has practiced for 19 years and holds the credential Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW. She is licensed in Wisconsin and supports people from a variety of backgrounds and life circumstances.
Her experience includes helping those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and complex co-occurring concerns. Sessions can include shorter check-ins or deeper work depending on what’s needed. The focus is on helping people build skills, strengthen coping, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Angela blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to focus on what matters most to each person while offering concrete steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-centered work prioritizes the client's goals and perspectives, helping people feel heard and understood. CBT breaks problems into doable parts and teaches skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts. These approaches are offered as options to try rather than fixed rules. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review goals and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses.
Online sessions are held as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact and skills practice between sessions. This variety makes it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving demands.
