About Angela
Angela Currier is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maine with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and codependency. Angela also addresses grief, ADHD, bipolar issues, eating concerns, and challenges tied to family and communication.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She emphasizes building a reliable working relationship first so clients feel heard and understood. Early sessions concentrate on figuring out what matters most to the client and whether her style fits the client’s needs.
Angela draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to understand how early relationships affect current behavior. She uses mindfulness practices to bring attention into the moment and narrative techniques to help people make sense of their stories. Motivational interviewing supports conversations about change and next steps when someone feels stuck.
Her background includes work in residential settings and programs for people with substance use concerns. She has experience supporting people facing child welfare risk and has worked with at-risk youth and women in residential treatment roles. That experience shapes a practical, direct style in sessions.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Angela focuses on clear, doable steps clients can try between meetings. Many clients look for help setting boundaries, managing people-pleasing patterns, or coping with a partner, family member, or household where another person’s moods or substance use dominates the relationship.
She conducts sessions in English and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How Angela uses attachment, client-centered, and mindfulness work online
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this means looking at how trust, closeness, and boundaries developed and how they affect present behavior in relationships. That can be helpful for people who keep putting others first or who have trouble saying no.Client-centered work puts the person’s perspective at the center of conversations. The therapist listens and reflects back what she hears, helping clients clarify their goals and priorities. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without acting on them immediately, which supports calmer choices in stressful moments.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Angela will work with the client to identify goals, test different techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. The first meetings are used to assess fit and agree on a plan together.
The biography lists video sessions, phone calls, and messaging as ways she has worked, but please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Those practical benefits help sessions become a regular part of everyday life without promising any particular outcome.
