About Angela
Angela Montague is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults on challenges such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting pressures, and anger.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens, asks practical questions, and helps people name what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps someone can try between meetings. This can include talking through difficult interactions, planning small behavior changes, and practicing ways to calm down in heated moments.
Angela adapts the way she works to the person in front of her. She pays attention to cultural background, incidents of prejudice, and experiences with domestic violence or first responder stress. She also helps people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, career decisions, and the fallout of infidelity.
People can expect a direct, respectful conversation about goals and obstacles. Angela supports LGBT concerns and family-related difficulties while helping clients address compassion fatigue and burnout. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in a practical way.
To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Payment and session arrangements vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online session benefits
Angela uses evidence-based techniques to address emotion regulation and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on skills for managing strong feelings - it teaches breathing, grounding, and short practical routines to reduce reactivity in tense moments. This can help with snapping at loved ones or workplace frustration.Another approach examines how interactions and patterns keep problems going. It looks at what triggers an angry response, how people typically react, and what alternative responses might look like. This kind of work helps with recurring relationship conflicts, resentment, and intimacy concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. The clinician works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, temperament, and daily life. Together they adjust pace and focus as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into a workday, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If video or phone options are available, those formats can support regular sessions while someone balances family, work, or other commitments.
