About Angela
Angela Schuckhardt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 11 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and substance use concerns. She also addresses ADHD, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, and career and life transitions.
Her style leans toward client-centered work that follows the person's pace. Sessions often focus on improving communication, understanding attachment patterns, and building practical coping skills for day-to-day life. She uses techniques drawn from emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to help people make small, manageable changes.
Angela aims to help people untangle family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. She addresses codependency, control issues, and communication problems that commonly show up around parenting or caregiving roles. She also supports those coping with divorce, separation, or loss.
In practice she helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and then tries different ways to shift them. Sessions may include focused conversations about difficult moments, grounding or mindfulness exercises, and practical steps to change behaviors. The work emphasizes clear goals and regular check-ins on progress.
She works with adults and offers therapy in English from her New York license. People interested in starting are asked to follow the site's matching and scheduling process to set up an initial session.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs to clarify personal goals and feel understood while working through stress or life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and emotions. It can help identify how attachment and communication affect conflicts and closeness.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple skills to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away. It is often used to reduce anxiety, manage strong emotions, and improve sleep or focus. These approaches are used conversationally and with short exercises to practice between sessions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will check in about what is and is not helpful and will adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at picking practical strategies that fit everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discuss format preferences during the matching and scheduling steps to choose what will work best for regular sessions.
