About Angela
Angela Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience based in Wisconsin. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and identity-related issues. She supports people who are coping with trauma, mood changes, and challenges tied to LGBT identity. Angela also addresses self-esteem and issues connected to chronic illness and caregiving.
She uses a person-centered approach and works in partnership with each client to set practical goals. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on clear steps toward those goals. She draws from cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Angela blends approaches when it helps. She uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior strategies. Motivational interviewing is used when people are making behavior changes, and existential ideas come up around meaning and values. This mix is applied to concerns such as addiction, anger, and relationship problems.
Her background includes individual, group, and systemic perspectives. That means she pays attention to how relationships and life circumstances affect mood and behavior. She has experience with diverse cultural, religious, and life-stage issues, and with people who have faced trauma or dual diagnoses.
Practical skills are emphasized in sessions. Clients may practice emotional regulation techniques, communication strategies, and concrete behavior plans. Angela invites people to try small experiments between meetings to see what helps in day-to-day life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Angela uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities and strengths, helping people set and pursue goals that matter to them. This approach is straightforward and works well for issues like relationship concerns, self-esteem, and managing everyday anger.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to replace them with practical alternatives. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that feed anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication; it is often used when someone needs tools to manage strong feelings and reactions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client look at needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. Angela will help decide which mix of ways of working fits best for things like anger, addiction, or trauma-related problems.
