About Angela
Angela Montague is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice in New York. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She also helps with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting challenges.
Angela aims to meet people where they are and offer steady support. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Conversations and plans are tailored to a person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Angela has long experience addressing issues tied to identity and culture, including LGBT concerns, multicultural stressors, and prejudice or discrimination. She also works with people dealing with domestic violence, infidelity, and first responder stress.
That background shapes how she listens and responds in sessions. Clients can expect straightforward help with problem solving, coping skills, emotion management, and setting realistic goals. Angela also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, and difficult life transitions.
Work together may include coaching-style conversations when relevant. Therapy is planned collaboratively, so pace and focus adjust as needs change. Angela encourages small, manageable steps and checks in about what is or isn’t working.
She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process clearer and more usable for busy people.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Angela draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and emotional regulation. One common approach centers on building coping skills for anxiety and stress - learning concrete breathing, pacing, and thought-check strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Another element focuses on processing trauma and abuse through gradual, supportive conversation and strategies that help people feel steadier when recalling difficult experiences.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that match those needs. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted together so the work fits the person’s life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, and other busy schedules.
