About Angela

Angela Avery is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, ADHD challenges, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Her practice starts with listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. Angela treats people as the expert on their lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. Conversations focus on practical steps that reduce reactivity, improve communication, and restore a sense of control.

She blends several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s goals. That can mean using cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, attachment-based ideas to rework close relationships, or dialectical behavior techniques to manage intense feelings. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help deciding what change feels doable.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Angela helps people build skills for handling anger, resolving conflicts, and coping after loss or trauma. She also addresses patterns that keep someone stuck, like codependency, control issues, or low self-esteem.

Her work is practical and collaborative. People leave with small, concrete tools they can apply between sessions and a clearer plan for moving forward.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Angela often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can help with anger, anxiety, and depression through clear skill practice. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate, which can reduce conflict and improve intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts techniques as sessions progress. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions practical and goal-focused.

Confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT and attachment tools online, working through skills, role-plays, and relationship patterns in conversation and between-session exercises.
