Angela McAlarney, LISW

Angela McAlarney is a licensed Ohio social worker who practices as an LISW, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker. She brings a strengths-based, client-centered approach to therapy and focuses on supporting people navigating relationships, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. Angela works with clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem or motivation concerns, helping them identify practical steps to feel more capable and balanced.

She frames each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to amplify existing strengths so clients can confront what has been holding them back. Angela recognizes that asking for help requires courage and that change often begins with small, intentional steps. Her style emphasizes empowerment and collaboration, supporting clients as they set goals, practice new skills, and build healthier patterns in relationships and daily life.

Whether addressing attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, post-traumatic stress, or social anxiety, Angela aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore difficult experiences and move toward greater self-love and resilience.
