About Angelina
Angelina Rhoades is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and addiction-related concerns. She focuses on building confidence and improving self-esteem while respecting each person's strengths and story. Angelina works from a straightforward, supportive stance that aims to make change feel achievable.
She helps people talk through the real problems that get in the way of daily life. That can mean learning ways to calm strong emotional reactions, finding new habits to replace substance use, or practicing clearer communication when relationships feel strained.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with steps to try between meetings. Angelina believes clients are the experts on their own lives and treats them as partners in setting goals. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide choices and to shape plans that fit a person's needs and situation.
Progress is tracked through small, measurable changes so people notice what is different over time. Her background includes working across a range of concerns linked to attachment, abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and issues around commitment and control. She also supports people dealing with divorce, forgiveness, and body image struggles.
Based in New York, Angelina offers sessions in English and works with international clients as needed. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people move from stuck to steady with clear steps and ongoing support.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Angelina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide change in ways that map to real life. One set of approaches focuses on emotion regulation and skills-building to manage intense feelings like anger and anxiety; these methods show people specific tools to calm reactions and respond differently in the moment. Another approach centers on coping with addictions and behavior change, helping people identify triggers, build new routines, and plan safer responses to cravings or urges.Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaborative process lets clients test techniques and keep what works while dropping what does not.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief exchanges during busy days. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on goals while balancing life responsibilities.
