About Angela
Angela Richard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience helping people through intense and changing moments. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar symptoms, and self-esteem concerns. Angela aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Before working in outpatient settings she supported people in inpatient behavioral health, crisis stabilization, and intensive outpatient programs. That background shaped how she notices patterns and reacts to urgent needs.
Background and approach
Sessions often mix practical skill-building with short-term problem solving. Her work draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy informed strategies, and solution-focused methods. Angela uses these approaches to reduce overwhelming feelings, improve emotion regulation, and change unhelpful thinking.
She also helps clients facing substance concerns, post-traumatic stress, mood or personality struggles, and life transitions. People who want clear tools and steady support tend to do well with her style. She listens closely and offers straightforward coping steps to use between sessions.
Angela also helps with communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and finding a renewed sense of life purpose. Sessions are provided from Texas in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair someone with the right clinician and schedule the first appointment.
Evidence-based techniques delivered online
Angela uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people spot and change patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and depression. This approach focuses on practical exercises and clear steps to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy informed strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are useful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship stress. Solution-focused work is used to set small, attainable goals and build momentum toward change.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video can mirror an in-person appointment when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and written coaching between longer sessions.
