About Angela
Angela Howes is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and low self-esteem. She offers a calm, accepting presence for parents facing parenting challenges and for people dealing with grief, relationship strain, or career transitions. Angela holds an LISW and a LCSW and has five years of clinical experience in the field.
She focuses on creating a safe space to talk through whatever brought someone to therapy.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions move at a pace that feels manageable and practical steps are discussed between visits. Angela uses a mix of methods depending on the issue at hand.
She draws on client-centered work to center the client's goals, cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and mindfulness to build calm and presence. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people find direction and small changes that add up. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate.
She encourages people to notice small wins and to try out new strategies between sessions. Angela also pays attention to burnout and compassion fatigue and offers coaching-style support when needed. Clients in Ohio can expect respectful conversation and concrete options for coping.
Angela adjusts plans as progress is made and helps people identify practical next steps. She aims to make the process clear and usable for busy parents and adults managing life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Angela frequently draws on client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's priorities and experiences. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on the client's own strengths to set goals and choose next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress. CBT offers concrete techniques that can be practiced between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Angela will talk through options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences, adjusting plans if something is not helping. This collaborative way helps clients feel involved in decisions about their care.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people keep face-to-face conversation when that matters, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style feedback, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel routines while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
