LPCC, 14 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hi! I am Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Licensed Social Worker (LSW), and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC III) based in Ohio. I received my Master from Walden University in Minneapolis and have been practicing for 13 years. I want to help adults find a more lasting solution beyond their immediate mental health concerns. I understand that pain in life is unavoidable and as your therapist, I want to help you work toward a healing solution and bring out the best in you. I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. With a focus on evidence-based practices, I help individuals navigate life's challenges, improve their mental well-being, and develop coping strategies. My goal is to foster self-discovery and resilience, empowering clients to achieve their personal growth and establish fulfilling relationships.
In the first therapy session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where they have the opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings openly. The session typically begins with a discussion of confidentiality and the therapeutic process, followed by an assessment of their concerns, goals, and personal history. This initial meeting is focused on building rapport, understanding the client's unique situation, and collaboratively setting goals for future sessions. Clients may leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer idea of how therapy can support their journey.
As a therapist, my greatest strengths include active listening, which allows me to fully understand and empathize with my clients' experiences; my ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space that encourages open communication; and my adaptability, enabling me to tailor therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each individual. Additionally, my commitment to ongoing learning ensures I stay informed about the latest therapeutic techniques and research, allowing me to provide the best support possible.
I have worked with a diverse population of adult clients with varied needs. I am best positioned to serve adult clients who are seeking support for mental health challenges, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, personality and mood disorders, or transitional life stages like career changes or significant personal losses. My experience with evidence-based therapeutic techniques equips me to help clients navigate these challenges by fostering resilience, improving coping strategies, and facilitating personal growth in a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment. Additionally, I am adept at working with individuals who value self-improvement and are motivated to engage in therapy as a proactive measure for their overall well-being.

Angela has opened my eyes to see my now and not the past. She has empowered me with strategies and techniques to process and move forward. She truly cares about me and my well being. After every session I have peace snd have learned something new about myself. I am forever grateful and blessed to work with Angela.
I take a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in sessions such that, in the process, they discover their own solutions.
A solutions-oriented form of talk therapy to rests on the idea that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior.
An action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that stems from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Clients will learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives.
A structured program of psychotherapy with a strong educational component designed to provide skills for managing intense emotions and negotiating social relationships.
A form of in-depth talk therapy that aims to bring unconscious or deeply buried thoughts and feelings to the conscious mind so that repressed experiences and emotions, often from childhood, can be brought to the surface and examined.
