About Angela

Angela Harris is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina. She holds a Master of Social Work from East Carolina University and brings 14 years of professional experience to her practice. Angela focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self esteem, depression, LGBT issues, family and parenting topics, grief, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

She aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what matters to them.

Background and approach

Angela uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people find what works for their daily lives. She listens for patterns in behavior and thinking, then helps clients try small changes that can reduce distress. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s comfort level.

She has experience supporting people dealing with abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and co-occurring conditions. Angela also addresses challenges such as divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance use, eating and food-related issues, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder concerns. Her background includes advocacy for LGBT and undocumented communities, and that perspective informs a respectful, inclusive approach.

Angela encourages clients to name their goals and to test changes between sessions. Progress is measured in practical steps rather than vague promises. Sessions include talk-based problem solving, building coping skills, and improving communication patterns.

She works with each person to develop strategies that fit their routines and responsibilities.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Angela draws on commonly used evidence-based techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns. One approach focuses on practical coping skills and behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings; it helps by breaking problems into small, testable steps. Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationship patterns, teaching clearer expression of needs and limits to reduce conflict and build connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will listen to a person’s goals, try methods that fit their circumstances, and adjust over time. Therapy is collaborative so techniques are selected to match the client’s situation and preferences rather than imposed from the start.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options allow people to connect from home, from work, or while traveling and provide flexibility in how often and how they communicate between meetings.
