About Angela
Angela Paul is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and ADHD. Angela focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or who are using substances or behaviors to manage emotional pain.
She has worked with adults from varied backgrounds, including those in rural and underserved communities. Her clinical focus includes alcohol use and behavioral addictions such as gambling, social media, or pornography. She also supports people facing trauma, mood disorders, panic, and stress linked to perimenopause and menopause.
Angela uses a person-centered style that keeps each person's goals and values in view. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people learn new ways of coping and to reduce the harm that substance use or risky behaviors may cause. She offers a harm reduction model so people can explore change at a pace that fits them.
In sessions she leans toward practical steps - identifying patterns, trying small experiments, and building on what already works. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to turn conversations into manageable actions. Sessions aim to increase skills for managing emotions like anger, reduce impulsive responses, and improve communication.
Those seeking support will find a direct, collaborative approach rooted in real-world strategies. Angela helps people strengthen coping skills, reconsider unhelpful habits, and reconnect with daily routines that support clearer thinking and steadier behavior.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Angela uses evidence-based techniques that have clear, practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anger and anxiety. It helps with managing triggers and replacing impulsive responses with planned actions.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that supports people to clarify their reasons for change. It helps when someone feels unsure about cutting back on substance use or changing a reactive pattern. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, realistic steps and what is already working, so sessions often end with a short, concrete task to try between meetings.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and daily life. That choice can shift as progress is made or new issues come up.
