Angela Grimes, LISW

Angela Grimes is an Ohio-licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, and motivation struggles. She also works with those affected by addictions, grief, sleep problems, anger, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and codependency.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify patterns that keep people stuck and to build practical steps forward. Sessions typically involve looking at unhelpful thoughts, testing small changes, and measuring what improves.

Angela often helps people who find themselves putting others first to their own detriment. She talks through boundary-setting, communication problems, and how to recognize dependent behavior. Practical tools and short-term goals are used to reduce overwhelm and increase clear choices in relationships.

She has worked across a range of concerns including caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, cancer-related stress, and co-morbid conditions. This background informs how she tailors strategies for each person’s everyday life and responsibilities.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided under her Ohio LISW credential. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Angela frames therapy as a collaborative process and focuses on small, manageable steps toward better functioning.
