About Angela

Angela Mallard is a licensed counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She offers straightforward support for stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief, addictions, and parenting challenges. Angela speaks English and practices from Florida with 14 years of professional experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC).

Her work is direct and practical. Sessions often start with a clear look at what’s most pressing and what the family hopes to change.

Background and approach

She listens for strengths in each person and helps set small, manageable goals. Parents and partners leave with concrete ideas to try between meetings. Angela has spent most of her career in outpatient settings.

She has worked in schools, offices, and provided in-home family therapy. In recent years she focused on at-risk youth and their families, bringing that experience into family-centered sessions. She uses a mix of approaches to match a family’s needs.

That may include client-centered listening, solution-focused planning, cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness skills, or motivational interviewing. Her trauma-informed perspective shapes how she responds to difficult histories. Clients can expect a compassionate, practical partner who emphasizes clear steps and real-world strategies.

She aims to support and empower families while tailoring care to each household’s unique story and goals.

Therapeutic approaches for families online

Angela often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person’s story and building on family strengths. This approach is about listening, validating experiences, and helping families choose their own next steps.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday parenting challenges. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and find small changes that make daily life easier.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the family to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what works for the household.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. These options make it easier to schedule around busy family life and to get timely support between in-person commitments. The variety of formats helps families keep momentum and practice new skills in real situations.

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.

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.
