Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angela integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her work to address a range of emotional and relational concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership in which the therapist listens deeply and helps clients explore their values and goals - it is helpful for improving self-esteem, motivation, and family communication. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical strategies and skills - it is often used to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address mood concerns. EMDR uses structured processing to help people work through traumatic memories and strong emotional reactions, supporting recovery from distressing events and symptoms related to trauma.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the collaboration between therapist and client. Angela evaluates each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest tailored techniques while inviting client input so treatment feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit care into busy lives through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while working with licensed professionals who guide progress and adapt methods as needs change.
