About Angela
Angela Richard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. Sessions focus on practical skills and steady support rather than quick fixes.
Before moving into outpatient work she supported people in inpatient behavioral health, crisis stabilization, and intensive outpatient settings. That background means she is familiar with high-stress situations and transitions back to everyday life.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts. She applies dialectical-behavior-informed strategies for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Solution-focused methods are also part of her work, helping clients set specific goals and try small, manageable changes. In practice this looks like brief skills teaching, setting concrete steps, and checking what works in daily life.
Angela pays attention to overlapping issues such as substance use, codependency, communication problems, and trauma-related stress. She also addresses concerns like impulsivity, isolation, grief, and life-purpose questions that often come alongside mood and personality disorders.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches for online sessions
Angela’s work uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying thought patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments; this helps with anxiety, anger, and mood symptoms. Dialectical-behavior-informed strategies teach practical skills for managing intense emotions, building distress tolerance, and improving emotional regulation. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which techniques to try first. You and the therapist will reassess what is helping and adjust techniques as needed. Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into their week, whether that means avoiding travel, using shorter check-ins during a work break, or having sessions from a quieter location. Online work can support practicing skills between meetings and applying tools directly to daily situations without promising a particular format.Areas of focus
