About Angela

Angela Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 19 years of experience based in Wisconsin. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and anger. She also assists people facing mood disorders, intimacy issues, and identity-related challenges within LGBT contexts.

Her approach centers on the person's goals and choices. She uses client-centered methods and works in partnership to set practical objectives. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, workable steps toward those goals.

Angela draws from several psychotherapy methods to match what a client needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or ambivalent about change.

She also uses narrative and existential ideas to help people make sense of hard experiences and find meaning after trauma or loss. Her background includes work with diverse cultural and identity issues and with people navigating substance concerns alongside other mental health needs.

Practical work in sessions can include skill practice, looking at patterns in relationships, and setting clear, short-term goals. Angela works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.

How sessions work

How Angela’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaborating. The therapist helps people identify their goals and follows their lead, which works well when sessions are scheduled around real life demands. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors with exercises and homework, a good fit for online sessions where worksheets and brief between-session tasks can be assigned.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Online meetings can be useful for teaching and practicing these skills in short, focused segments that fit into a busy day. Each approach is a tool; Angela will help determine which combination fits a person’s needs and goals in a collaborative way rather than prescribing a single method.

Confirm the precise session delivery options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Discuss scheduling needs and what will fit your routine during the initial matching process. Online work can make attending regular appointments easier, allow for concise skill-focused sessions, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work and caregiving obligations.
