About Angela
Angela Schuckhardt is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addictions. She also offers support for relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career changes, ADHD, and body image worries. Angela practices in New York and brings 11 years of experience to her work.
Her sessions are straightforward and compassionate. She listens first, then helps people name what matters most. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer choices, not jargon.
Background and approach
Many clients work on better communication, healthier boundaries, and more steady moods. Angela uses a mix of gentle techniques to suit each person. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the individual's goals.
Emotionally-focused ideas guide work with feeling states and close relationships. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing are used to build awareness and strengthen motivation for change. She also uses narrative and solution-focused approaches to rewrite stuck stories and set short-term goals.
This often helps with coping after loss, switching career paths, or shifting patterns in relationships. Sessions can include talk, skill practice, or short exercises between meetings. Angela aims to help people feel more capable in daily life.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She explains options and helps each person choose what fits their needs and schedule.
Approach and online care that fits your life
Angela blends client-centered work with emotionally-focused therapy and mindfulness. Client-centered work means the conversation begins with the person's goals and values, and therapy follows from there. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people notice and name core feelings and how those feelings shape close connections. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus. These approaches are useful for anxiety, relationship stress, grief, and coping with big life shifts.Finding the right fit is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want to change and try approaches that match those goals. Over a few sessions the plan is adjusted so the work feels useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments.
