About Angela
Angela Gardner is an LCSW who brings nine years in clinical practice to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and related concerns. She practices in Texas and speaks English. Angela aims to make the first steps toward help feel straightforward and manageable.
Her background includes work in hospitals and jail settings, supporting people with acute mental health needs, substance use struggles, and trauma recovery. She has also taught at the university level and says teaching remains a professional passion. Angela describes herself as compassionate and willing to laugh when it helps the work.
Angela uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center each person’s goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address thoughts, behaviors, and motivation.
In sessions she aims to tailor care to the person in front of her. That can mean practical skills for anxiety, focused planning for addiction recovery, or paced support after trauma. She emphasizes collaboration rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
She lists a wide range of concerns she helps with, including relationship issues, grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and coping after disasters. Angela says she is comfortable working with different backgrounds and belief systems and will adjust her approach to fit each person’s needs.
How Angela’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the person set their own goals. In an online setting this means sessions emphasize what matters most to the client and build from their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and uses practical exercises to change patterns. Online CBT often includes guided activities between sessions and clear steps to try in everyday life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and personal life. When used remotely, the therapist helps people name emotions and practice new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She tailors the mix of listening, skills training, and goal-setting based on what the client needs.
The practical upside of online therapy is that it can fit into busy schedules and everyday routines. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, attend from different locations, or keep therapy steady during life changes.
