About Angela
Angela Grimes is a licensed independent social worker with 19 years of clinical experience in Ohio. She focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and anxiety and improve everyday functioning. Parents often find her approachable and straightforward when they need help with parenting challenges, motivation, or low self-esteem.
She uses clear, problem-focused methods in sessions so people leave with concrete ideas they can try. Conversations are direct but compassionate, and she helps people sort through feelings and next steps.
Background and approach
Many meetings include building simple routines, communication strategies, and behavior-focused techniques. Angela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep work practical and goal-oriented. That means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes to see what helps.
She encourages short, manageable experiments rather than long promises of change. Her background includes nearly two decades of work across stress, depression, addictions, grief, sleeping problems, anger, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, relationship strain, and family-related issues.
Angela can help with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric questions, and health-related life changes. Sessions are offered in English and use several remote formats. She helps people set realistic goals and tracks progress over time.
The approach is collaborative, with a focus on what works in a client's daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often involves short exercises, simple experiments, and tracking patterns between sessions to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, reachable goals and notice small changes quickly. This approach focuses on practical steps and what is already working, which suits busy parents or people looking for fast, focused progress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. Together you can adjust the plan as needed so the work fits your life and feels useful.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or a lower-intensity way to try therapy. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and daily routines.
