About Angela
Angela Grimes is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. Her work also covers parenting concerns, addiction issues, grief, sleep problems, and life changes.
She uses straightforward techniques to talk through problems and set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her approach. Sessions are focused on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and building small, doable changes that fit day-to-day life.
Angela has worked across settings over nearly two decades. That background informs how she adapts plans to fit real-world demands like parenting schedules, work pressures, and caregiver responsibilities. She aims to keep pacing realistic so people can use what they learn between meetings.
In practice she helps people address relationship and family difficulties by looking at communication patterns and boundaries. She also supports those coping with medical issues, aging concerns, ADHD, and co-occurring addictions by integrating problem-solving steps into treatment.
Sessions emphasize clear tools and next steps rather than long theoretical talks. Clients leave with specific strategies to try and review. Angela guides the process while inviting feedback so plans stay practical and relevant.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Angela incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT helps identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep patterns like irritability and avoidance going, and it teaches small experiments to test new responses. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to achievable steps and what works now, so sessions often end with concrete actions to try before the next meeting.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Angela will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and daily reality. She checks in about progress and adjusts plans when something isn’t working, so the methods evolve with the client’s needs.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or let people use phone-based options if video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused steps to virtual meetings so skills can be practiced between sessions.
