About Angela

Angela Radford is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Arizona who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Known for an affirming approach to LGBT concerns, Angela also supports work on self-esteem, coping with life changes, and issues tied to gender dysphoria, guilt and shame. She integrates evidence-based methods to address attachment and communication difficulties as well as workplace and women's issues.

Her style blends empathetic, client-centered care with goal-oriented techniques. Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside DBT skills and EMDR-informed strategies where appropriate, and incorporates mindfulness practices to help clients develop practical coping tools.

Over seven years of practice, she has aimed to build collaborative relationships that help clients identify strengths, reframe unhelpful patterns, and practice new skills in day-to-day life. Angela’s sessions emphasize respect for each person’s experience and pace.

She creates a nonjudgmental atmosphere that encourages exploration, resilience, and gradual change while tailoring interventions to individual needs and preferences.

Online Approaches That Meet You Where You Are



Angela integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practical skills that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore feelings, build self-compassion, and set their own goals.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotional regulation or distress tolerance are priorities; DBT provides concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Throughout the process, finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative effort. The therapist and client work together to assess needs, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and sustainable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity during life changes while working with licensed professionals experienced in evidence-based methods.
