About Angela
Angela Richard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She has worked in inpatient behavioral health, crisis stabilization, and intensive outpatient settings. Angela focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression, and also addresses concerns such as substance use, post-traumatic stress, and life purpose.
She uses practical, evidence-based techniques. Angela draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy informed strategies, and solution-focused methods to help people reduce symptoms and regain everyday functioning. Sessions tend to include skill practice, problem-solving, and moments to reflect on what matters most.
Clients meeting her often bring issues like co-morbidity, codependency, communication problems, isolation, midlife questions, or challenges after a disaster. Angela’s background includes crisis and intensive care settings, so she is familiar with high-intensity situations and transitions back to regular routines.
Her style centers on straightforward conversation and concrete tools. She works collaboratively to set short-term goals and to build skills for handling strong emotions and impulsivity. Progress is tracked in real-world terms like better sleep, fewer arguments, or clearer decision-making.
Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in Texas. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Angela uses cognitive behavioral methods and DBT-informed strategies in clear, practical ways. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT-informed strategies emphasize emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for strong emotions and impulsivity.She also incorporates solution-focused work that narrows attention to immediate, achievable goals and what can be different in the next week. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use a lunch break or an evening hour more easily. Many clients find virtual sessions helpful for staying consistent while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
