About Angela
Angela Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 19 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, anger, self-esteem, and LGBT-related matters. Her practice also addresses codependency and related patterns such as people-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries.
She uses a person-centered stance, partnering with people to set practical goals they choose. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on building skills that fit daily life. Angela draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete tools for emotion regulation and communication.
Narrative and existential approaches shape how she works with life meanings, values, and patterns that repeat across relationships. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change and needs clearer reasons and steps to move forward. The result is a mix of skill teaching, reflective talk, and problem-focused planning.
Her background includes experience with trauma exposure and mood concerns, and with people navigating LGBTQ issues and cultural differences. She has worked across a range of settings and with diverse life circumstances, which informs practical strategies for everyday stressors.
People who struggle with putting others first often leave sessions with clearer boundaries, small behavioral experiments to try between meetings, and straightforward tools for managing anxiety or urges. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Angela commonly draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients can name their own goals and priorities. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. DBT offers concrete techniques for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns and goals with you and suggest which methods to try first. You and the therapist can adjust the approach over time based on what helps and what feels manageable.
The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into daily life - for example they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around a work break, or let someone choose a session style that does not require being on camera. Licensed professionals aim to match session length and style to your needs and practical constraints.
