About Angela
Angela Grimes is a licensed independent social worker in Ohio who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people facing life stressors. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide conversations about worry, low mood, parenting concerns, and motivation. Her voice is direct and calm, making room for straightforward problem-solving and coping strategies.
Angela holds an LISW credential, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker, and brings 19 years of professional experience to her practice.
Background and approach
She likes to keep sessions simple and focused. That often means identifying one or two problems to address first. Then she and the client pick small, doable steps to try between meetings.
Angela emphasizes clear tools for managing stress, anxiety, sleep troubles, and changes that come with major life events. In her work she creates an open atmosphere where people can say what they are thinking without judgment. Conversations look at current patterns and test practical shifts that can reduce distress.
For parents and people worried about family matters, she helps break down tasks and improve daily routines. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, anger, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and attention differences. Other common topics include communication problems, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and chronic illness-related adjustments.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through a variety of formats. Angela’s approach aims to produce clear next steps and measurable progress, while staying responsive to each person’s pace and priorities.
Approaches that guide online sessions and daily life changes
Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That approach breaks big problems into smaller parts and teaches clear techniques for managing anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on identifying strengths and practical next steps. It helps when someone wants quick, concrete changes and a plan to move forward.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Angela approaches treatment collaboratively and will help clients pick an approach that fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She will check in regularly and adjust techniques as progress unfolds so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, and health concerns. Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to use skills in real life and stay consistent with follow-up between meetings.
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.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
