About Angela
Angela Gardner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She draws on a long history of helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and other difficult emotions. Angela speaks English and supports clients both locally and internationally through online formats.
She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and understandable. In conversation she listens first, then helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings, like grounding exercises, brief mindfulness practices, and steps for managing intense feelings. Angela uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to guide work on problems.
That means she helps people clarify values, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and build small behavior changes that match what matters to them. She also draws on emotionally focused ideas when relationships or connection feel strained.
Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns: family and parenting issues, trauma and abuse, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, ADHD, and challenges related to adoption, autism, caregiving stress, and discrimination. She also addresses compassion fatigue and self-esteem problems. Therapy appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Angela asks new clients to complete a brief questionnaire to match goals and then schedule sessions that fit their lives.

How Angela's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions feel overwhelming. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then practicing new behaviors that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Angela will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize acceptance, cognitive tools, emotionally focused work, or a mix based on immediate needs and practical goals.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want frequent brief contact, or need to fit sessions into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to day-to-day life.
