About Angela

Dr. Angela Legner uses evidence-informed therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex life changes.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs. Dr.

Legner holds LMHC and LPC credentials and practices from Wisconsin, offering practical tools and skills to address symptoms as well as the relational and situational factors that contribute to distress. Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s story, creating space to explore grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, work stress, and medical or chronic illness impacts.

She also addresses a broad range of additional concerns including ADHD, bipolar disorder, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and fertility-related issues. Dr.

Legner aims to combine empathic listening with strategies that promote resilience, improved coping, and clearer paths forward so clients can pursue meaningful change on their own terms.

How online therapy and approach work together

Dr. Legner often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her toolkit and focuses on clarifying personal values, increasing psychological flexibility, and learning to make space for difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy contributes a relational lens, exploring how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore their goals, histories, and preferences and then recommend strategies or a combination of methods that feel most helpful. Treatment plans are adapted over time based on what is working and what the client needs to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals without travel, fit sessions into busy routines, and continue work between appointments using chat or messaging when that is helpful.
