About Angela

Angela Howes is a licensed social worker who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, and building self-love. With five years of clinical experience, she helps clients navigate both urgent difficulties and long-standing patterns that affect daily functioning and wellbeing.

Her style centers on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what matters most to them. She uses a mix of practical, evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered approaches, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Angela emphasizes collaboration - adapting conversations and plans to fit individual goals, readiness, and life circumstances. She encourages those taking the first step toward therapy, acknowledging the courage it takes to begin and supporting clients through the process in a steady, respectful manner.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapy

Angela combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping strategies. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing cravings. Mindfulness Therapy supports present-moment awareness and stress reduction through simple attention and breathing practices, which often complements skills-based work.

She approaches the work collaboratively, inviting clients to weigh in on which methods feel most helpful. Deciding on an approach is an active process - the therapist and client review goals, try strategies, and adapt techniques so the plan fits the individual's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care during busy weeks, manage appointments from home, and access therapy when in-person visits are not practical. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver structured, goal-oriented work while adjusting pace and methods to suit each client.
