About Angela

Angela Dailey is a licensed clinical social worker with thirty years of experience offering practical, down-to-earth care. She practices in Montana and brings a straightforward, adaptable style to sessions. Parents and adults often look to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes.

She previously served as Director of Services for a mental health center and began independent practice in 1995. Working in a rural setting taught her to address a wide range of concerns, from mood and relationship struggles to trauma and behavior issues.

Background and approach

That variety shaped a flexible approach that aims to fit therapy to each person. Angela also teaches college courses in psychology and sociology and draws on that teaching and clinical experience in session. She has a strong interest in nutrition and its links to mental health, and authored a book titled “Cooking to Cure, A nutritional approach to anxiety and depression.”

Her work often combines talk-based problem solving with attention to lifestyle factors like diet, movement, and social connection. She helps people build coping skills, manage transitions, and strengthen daily routines that support mood and focus. Sessions with Angela are practical and collaborative.

She listens without judgment, helps identify options, and supports clients in trying new strategies. If life feels overwhelming, she offers guidance and a steady presence while you work through the next steps.

Therapeutic techniques and how they work online

Angela favors evidence-based techniques delivered in a practical, flexible way. One common approach she uses focuses on problem solving and building coping skills. This involves identifying concrete steps to manage stress or mood and practicing them between sessions to see what helps.

She also emphasizes lifestyle-based strategies that connect nutrition, movement, and social habits to mental health. That work looks at simple changes to meals, routines, and daily activity to support mood and focus. Together these approaches address everyday triggers as well as larger life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angela discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She works collaboratively to choose techniques that feel manageable and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or distance constraints. Video calls let you meet face to face, phone sessions are available when video is impractical, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapeutic work into daily life and to try strategies in real time.
