About Angela

Angela Knight is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 29 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship conflicts, trauma and abuse, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns related to self-esteem, addictions, grief, intimacy, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions and caregiving stress. Her practice includes additional focus areas like attachment issues, adoption and foster care dynamics, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and communication and commitment challenges.

Angela approaches therapy from a collaborative, client-centered stance, treating each person as the expert on their own story while offering evidence-based tools to build skills and resilience. She blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques, along with mindfulness-informed strategies, to address patterns in relationships and emotion regulation.

Her work emphasizes practical skill-building and strengthening personal resources so clients can move toward more satisfying and manageable lives. Clients can expect a supportive clinician who teaches concrete strategies, helps identify strengths, and partners with them to set achievable goals.

Angela’s long experience in California settings informs a pragmatic approach that balances insight with actionable change.

Clinical Approaches Applied to Online Care

Angela integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in ways that translate well to remote work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to reduce distress, which can be taught through exercises and homework during video or phone sessions. EFT focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people access and express deeper emotions to improve connection and intimacy, a process that can be explored through conversation and guided interventions online.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Angela collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs. She assesses how symptoms, relationship patterns, and practical constraints interact and tailors techniques accordingly so the plan feels personally relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins and skill practice. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access therapeutic tools from home while working with a licensed professional.
