About Angela
Angela Richard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also addresses codependency and related concerns such as communication problems and substance issues.
Before moving into outpatient work she supported people in inpatient behavioral health, crisis stabilization, and intensive outpatient treatment. That background shaped how she handles strong emotions and urgent needs. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and steady pacing rather than quick fixes.
Her typical approach draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior therapy informed techniques, and solution-focused work. In practice that means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building skills for emotion regulation, and setting short-term goals that feel doable. The work is task-oriented and grounded in real-life problems.
People who feel stuck in people-pleasing patterns or who live with someone else’s addiction or mood problems will find concrete tools offered in sessions. Angela helps with boundary setting, communication practice, and coping strategies for intense emotions. She also supports exploration of life purpose and values when clients are facing midlife or other major transitions.
Sessions are conducted in English from Texas. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to follow the site steps to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Two of the approaches Angela uses are cognitive-behavioral methods and DBT-informed skills. Cognitive-behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations to change mood and behavior. DBT-informed skills emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.She also draws on solution-focused work that looks for small, achievable steps clients can take to reduce overwhelm and move toward personal goals. That tends to be short-term and goal-directed, useful when someone needs immediate, practical changes rather than lengthy exploration.
Choosing the right mix of techniques is collaborative. Angela will work with each person to figure out what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and as priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use camera-off conversations or phone calls when that better matches their energy or schedule. Licensed professionals adapt approaches to what works in each format.
