Angela Hicks, LCSW

Angela Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of practice in Texas. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Angela focuses on helping adults ages 18 to 65 who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and midlife questions.

Her approach is practical and tailored to each person. Sessions aim to be straightforward and judgment-free. Angela helps clients talk through tangled feelings and make small, useful changes that fit their life.

She draws on several methods to match what a client needs in the moment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools can help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the client's voice central and steers the pace of work. Mindfulness-based practices are used to build steadiness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Angela also uses Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories and DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She brings a multicultural lens to care and adapts techniques to each person’s background and values.

Expect a supportive space where goals are set together and progress is tracked in simple steps. She encourages people to be curious about change and offers steady support while they try new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to set directions that feel right to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers clear, practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those tools are useful when emotions feel intense or when relationship patterns cause repeated problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaborative process shapes which methods are used and how sessions proceed.

Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and worksheets that transfer well to online sessions, so practical skills can be practiced between meetings.
