She previously served on active duty in the U.S. Navy for eight years, and that background informs her practical approach.

Her stated methods include client-centered work combined with cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior elements. She also uses emotionally focused ideas and principles from the Gottman Method when relationship topics come up. Treatment plans are described as based on the person's needs and may mix these approaches.
Angela mentions using psychoeducation and mindfulness tools along with suggested homework to reinforce progress. She says she helps with crisis management, anger, sleep problems, career concerns, and issues that touch family history or current family stress.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Client-centered work focuses on the person's own goals and experience. It means the therapist listens carefully and helps people make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and stress. It uses short exercises and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving how someone reacts in tense moments. It includes strategies for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that people can practice between sessions. Angela combines these approaches so sessions can be practical and skills-focused when that fits the person's goals.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide what approaches and exercises fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying straightforward tools first and adjusting as needed based on what helps.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use written worksheets or apps between appointments. Ask about session length and format when you schedule the first meeting.
