About Angela

Angela Gardner, LCSW, brings nine years of licensed clinical social work experience to her practice in North Carolina and accepts international clients.

Background and approach

She focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, family and parenting challenges, grief and trauma, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and ADHD. Her work also attends to issues like compassion fatigue, self-esteem, communication problems, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination, among other areas of concern.

Her approach emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where clients are invited to explore feelings and past experiences at their own pace. Angela uses evidence-based methods tailored to each person’s needs, helping clients build insight and practical skills to cope with life changes, anger, isolation, and relational difficulties.

She encourages honesty and emotional expression during sessions and aims to create a comfortable setting that supports growth and reflection. Clients who choose Angela can expect a collaborative process that balances emotional processing with skill-building.

Her combination of clinical experience and an empathetic manner is intended to help people move toward clearer priorities, healthier relationships, and improved day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Angela frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages identifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise; this method can help with anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps track and change patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and challenges, and then together they select or blend methods that best fit the situation rather than relying on a single technique.

Online therapy with Angela is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from various locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable while working toward therapeutic goals.
