About Angela

Angela Grimes is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation struggles. Her practice also addresses addictions, relationship and family problems, grief, sleeping difficulties, anger, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Grimes uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, test new coping strategies, and set small achievable goals. Sessions are conversational and oriented toward real-life changes rather than abstract theory.

People often come for help with life changes such as divorce, caregiving strain, or coping after cancer. She also supports those dealing with communication problems, codependency, control issues, and challenges tied to aging or autism spectrum concerns. Grief and substance use concerns are included in her work as well.

Her approach emphasizes clear problem-solving and short-term goal setting when that fits a person’s needs. She helps break down large problems into manageable steps and tracks progress over time. This makes it easier to try new behaviors, then adjust what’s not working.

Sessions aim to be practical and steady. Grimes works with individuals who want concrete ways to handle everyday pressures at home and in relationships. People who prefer direct feedback and measurable steps may find this style helpful.

How sessions work

Using CBT and Solution-Focused Work in Online Sessions

Angela Grimes uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. That method breaks problems into concrete parts and offers specific skills for managing anxiety, mood, sleep, and reactions at home. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes and on what people want to see happen next rather than dwelling on origins of a problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and try methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made collaboratively so the plan fits daily life and needs.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which remote formats she is offering. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow for video or audio work without travel. These practical features help people use therapy alongside parenting, caregiving, or work responsibilities.
