About Angela

Angela Grimes is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 19 years of professional experience who blends practical, evidence-based techniques with a compassionate, client-centered stance.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop concrete coping strategies, and set clear, achievable goals. Her practice includes work around stress, anxiety, depression, motivation, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, grief, and ADHD, among other concerns.

Grimes creates a nonjudgmental space where clients are invited to explore thoughts and emotions and to practice new ways of responding to life’s challenges. She also addresses relationship and family dynamics, substance-related concerns, caregiver strain, and complex mood presentations such as bipolar symptoms.

As an Ohio-based clinician, she uses practical interventions to support changes that matter in daily life, helping clients translate insights into sustainable routines and choices.

Practical therapeutic approaches delivered online



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress-related concerns by teaching concrete skills and behavioral experiments. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting clear, achievable goals and building on existing strengths to create forward momentum; it is useful when clients want short-term, goal-directed work and practical strategies for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore their needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors interventions from CBT or Solution-Focused methods accordingly. That shared decision-making helps ensure that therapy fits the client’s life and priorities rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with remote care. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to access support from home or work, while still focusing on practical skills and measurable progress.
