About Angela
Angela Hastings is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions, and she also addresses anger and struggles around eating and body image.
She has supported people during crises and helped with chronic anxiety and depression. Angela describes her role as a mentor and coach who follows the clients lead on goals and pace. She uses a client-centered stance so sessions start with what matters most to each person.
Her style mixes practical methods with conversational guidance. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused strategies, and mindfulness practices to help people change patterns and try small experiments between sessions.
Sessions often include skill-building for managing strong feelings, examining unhelpful thoughts, and practicing calm responses. She also works on problems like self-harm, addictions, and control issues by helping people set clear, manageable steps for change.
People who want grounded, down-to-earth support may find her approach direct but collaborative. She works in English and practices in Michigan as an LMSW. To begin, clients select an online therapy option and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Angela uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy as practical frameworks online. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's priorities and pace, letting sessions adapt to what matters that week. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy offers emotion regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be practiced in daily life.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can shift as needs change, with regular check-ins to see what is helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, create shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. The focus is on practical skill-building, clearer thinking patterns, and learning new ways to respond to anger and stress that can be used between sessions.
