About Angela

Angela Knight is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 29 years of experience in California. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses grief, self-esteem, ADHD, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Angela speaks English and draws on many years of hands-on practice to guide people through hard moments. She treats trauma and abuse, attachment difficulties, and issues related to adoption and foster care.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing chronic illness or disability, aging and caregiver stress, body image and eating concerns, and blended family dynamics. Her approach adapts to the specific concerns a person brings into the room. Angela uses several practical therapy methods to help people learn new ways of coping and communicating.

She draws from client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s strengths and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation. Emotionally-focused and attachment-based tools guide work on closeness and relationship patterns.

Angela teaches concrete skills, builds existing strengths, and helps people set realistic steps toward change. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients’ experience directs the work. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Fees vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.

How Angela's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current feelings and behavior; it helps people understand and change how they connect with others. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and builds on strengths, offering a supportive space to set goals and make choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete tools to change those thoughts and related behaviors for better daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for busy lives. These formats let people use therapy from home, while traveling, or between other responsibilities. The variety of options supports different comfort levels and allows for ongoing skill practice between live conversations.

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.

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.
