About Angela

Angela Currier is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, relationship-focused methods to help families and individuals. She prioritizes building trust and listening closely so parents feel understood. Angela keeps her approach direct and nonjudgmental while helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and trauma.

She offers video, phone, chat, and text options to fit busy schedules. With three years as an LCSW in Maine, Angela draws on broader social work experience supporting people with depression, addiction, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She has worked closely with families facing child welfare concerns and with residential programs for people managing substance use. That background informs how she talks through parenting plans, blended family issues, and attachment concerns. Her style blends Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy.

That means she pays attention to how relationships shape behavior and follows each person’s pace and priorities. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help clients notice patterns and make practical changes. Sessions focus on realistic goals and workable steps.

Angela helps parents and caregivers problem-solve, set boundaries, and improve communication. She also supports people dealing with identity, body image, or impulse-related concerns. She works in English and practices in Maine.

Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting based on availability.

How attachment and client-centered approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships affect behavior and coping. Online sessions use conversations and exercises to notice patterns between parents and children and to practice new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace. In sessions the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and helps clients decide next steps that feel workable.

Angela also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. That approach can reduce reactivity and help with stress, anxiety, and parenting moments that feel overwhelming. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and together they will adjust the plan as work progresses.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into family life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can help maintain momentum between appointments. These options offer flexibility for busy parents and caregivers while keeping the focus on realistic steps and practical problem solving.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
