About Angela
Angela Howes is an LISW and LCSW with five years of clinical experience and practice based in Ohio. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, motivation issues, low self-esteem, and struggles with confidence. Her approach emphasizes clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Angela keeps sessions direct and focused on the problems people bring in.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions often include straightforward skills practice and check-ins on progress. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused work guide short-term goals and next steps when clients want change quickly.
Angela adapts how she talks and plans treatment to match each person’s situation. That can mean pacing sessions faster when someone needs practical coping tools, or slowing down to process trauma and grief. She aims to build skills people can use between sessions, like breath-based calming, thought records, or small behavioral experiments.
Her background includes work in settings that supported people with addiction and trauma-related concerns, and she brings that experience into individual sessions. She recognizes how life changes, parenting stress, and career pressures affect mood and relationships, and she focuses on clear strategies to manage those demands.
People can expect a straightforward, problem-solving orientation that pairs active listening with concrete techniques. Angela asks about goals early and tracks progress so sessions stay on target. She offers services in English and does not take international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete steps like tracking thoughts, testing small behavioral experiments, and practicing coping skills to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s concerns and pace. That approach means listening first, reflecting what matters, and shaping goals from the client’s priorities. Mindfulness therapy is another component and includes practical exercises for attention and stress reduction, such as brief breathing or grounding practices that can be done between sessions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Angela collaborates with each person to choose which approaches to try based on their goals and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts plans so the chosen strategies fit the client’s situation. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can guide clients in practicing skills at home and assigning brief between-session tasks to build steady progress.Areas of expertise
