About Angela

Angela Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Montana who focuses on helping people manage life’s hard moments. She brings three years of clinical experience and a background that includes active duty military service. Her approach is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at helping clients move toward practical change one step at a time.

Her style is interactive and warm. Sessions are validating and empathetic, with a focus on each person’s strengths.

Background and approach

She uses a client-centered perspective and works with concrete tools chosen to fit each person’s needs. Angela combines cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness practices. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas and relationship-focused methods when helpful.

Treatment plans are tailored, and she often offers take-home options like worksheets, books, or creative activities to reinforce work between sessions. Many people consult her about stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.

She also lists focused experience with blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, separation and divorce, substance issues, and family-of-origin topics. Sessions are conducted in English and are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Practical steps for starting include completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment once matched.

Practical therapy approaches for online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a safe space where the client’s goals guide the work. It helps people clarify what matters to them and choose small, doable steps toward change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple skills and exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping under stress. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming and when steadier regulation is needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work from home, and use short check-ins or written exercises between meetings. Many people find the mix of real-time conversation and written tools supports steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
