About Angela

Angela Allen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of clinical experience providing support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials (MS LCSW C11018, WA LICSW LW70001372) and builds care around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background emphasizes compassionate, practical work to help clients move through intense emotions and everyday stressors.

Her style blends evidence-based strategies with a warm, person-centered stance that values each client’s story. Angela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques and skills-based strategies to help people reframe unhelpful patterns, tolerate distress, and strengthen coping resources.

She also addresses concerns such as attachment struggles, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, forgiveness, guilt, loneliness, and post-traumatic stress. Practicing from Mississippi, Angela welcomes international clients and offers flexible session options to fit different schedules and needs.

She focuses on collaboration, helping people set realistic goals and learn practical tools to manage symptoms and improve emotional wellbeing over time.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions



Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and relationship strain; this approach focuses on developing concrete strategies for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance that helps people explore their feelings, clarify values, and build self-understanding. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are introduced to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that support coping in high-stress situations.

Determining the best combination of methods is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adjust techniques over time so the approach aligns with individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into busy lives and to maintain continuity of work across locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to choose the format that best supports their progress and comfort.
