About Angela

Angela Ellison is an LCSW based in Kentucky who supports people facing a wide range of challenges including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and addictions.

Background and approach

She combines practical coaching with therapeutic care to help clients manage life transitions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family difficulties, sleep and eating problems, and career-related stress. Her practice also includes work around caregiver strain, chronic illness, end-of-life issues, and concerns tied to aging and intellectual disability.

With five years of clinical experience as a licensed clinical social worker, Angela brings a strengths-based, collaborative style to sessions. She draws on client-centered principles to listen closely and build on each person’s existing resources, while using cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools to address thought patterns, mood regulation, and daily coping skills.

Emotionally-focused techniques and motivational interviewing also inform her approach when working on communication, attachment, and behavior change. Angela aims to help clients set practical goals and develop coping strategies that fit their lives.

She offers flexible session formats including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, and guides people through a process of identifying goals and skills to improve functioning and wellbeing.

How Angela’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and building a trusting relationship, helping clients explore their goals and tap into their own strengths to solve problems. This approach is useful for people navigating grief, identity concerns, caregiver stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns. CBT can be applied to anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with chronic illness.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to improve emotional awareness and communication, which can be particularly helpful for intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and relationship conflict.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs to tailor which methods to prioritize, and will adjust the plan as work progresses to ensure approaches match what the client finds most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows people to access care around work, family, or health constraints. These flexible formats make it easier to practice strategies between sessions and to maintain continuity of care when schedules change, while enabling licensed professionals to support progress from a distance.
