About Angela
Angela Howes is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, career shifts, and coping with life changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on steps that can help reduce distress. Angela uses clear techniques that clients can try between sessions to notice patterns and test new ways of responding.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s own goals and perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
Many clients come with burnout or compassion fatigue from caregiving roles or demanding jobs. Angela supports people as they sort through boundaries, decision points, and self-care that actually fits their day-to-day life. She also addresses issues like forgiveness, loneliness, life purpose, and self-love when those come up.
Sessions are practical and conversational rather than overly technical. Angela invites people to name one or two goals and then work on short measurable steps. She encourages regular check-ins on progress and adjusts the plan as needed.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Angela often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client’s own goals, values, and pace; the therapist listens and follows the client’s priorities while offering reflections and support. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also used to spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try small behavior changes to reduce stress and anger. Mindfulness therapy may be offered to help with noticing strong emotions and building short practical skills for grounding.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort, and the kind of challenges they bring. Plans can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steadier responses to anger and stress.
