Angela Richard, LCSW

Angela Richard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, anger, and low self-esteem. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she aims to make people feel seen and heard in each session.

Before moving into outpatient work, she supported individuals in inpatient behavioral health, crisis stabilization, and intensive outpatient programs. That background shaped her ability to respond to strong emotions and safety concerns while keeping sessions practical and goal-oriented.

In sessions she uses clear, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and regain daily functioning. Angela emphasizes simple skills people can practice between appointments, such as breathing and behavioral strategies that reduce anxiety or help stabilize mood.

She also works with life transitions, including midlife reevaluation, and with people dealing with addiction, post-traumatic stress, and relationship communication problems. Her approach blends short-term problem solving with steps toward longer-term change depending on each person’s needs.

Angela aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She collaborates on realistic goals and checks in about progress. People who choose her can expect direct feedback, practical tools, and steady support while they work through difficult periods and plan for healthier routines.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Angela draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques used to relieve overwhelming emotions and build practical skills. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy informed strategies teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily life. That means checking which skills are helpful, adjusting techniques over time, and setting realistic steps together.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the provided biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support ongoing work between in-person visits by keeping momentum through consistent appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting virtually.
