About Angela
Angela Schardein is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with 22 years of professional experience. She focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for people who are nervous about the first step.
She creates an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions emphasize listening first, then working together to figure out small, practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Angela encourages honest conversation about what is hard and what a person wants to change. Her background covers a wide range of related issues including adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also has experience with domestic violence, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, and end-of-life and hospice support.
That range helps when problems overlap or change over time. Over two decades of work have shaped a straightforward, steady style. Angela draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward useful coping tools and clearer choices.
She helps people break larger problems into manageable pieces and practices new ways of responding between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Practical details about cost and scheduling depend on location and the subscription model used, and scheduling begins by completing a short matching questionnaire.
Evidence-Based Tools and Online Options
Angela commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and problem-solving. One approach emphasizes building coping skills for stress and grief by identifying triggers, practicing new responses, and tracking small changes over time. This helps people handle strong emotions and day-to-day demands.Another approach centers on trauma-informed work that helps people describe difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. The work aims to reduce overwhelm and increase a person’s sense of control through grounding skills and step-by-step processing.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that fit your needs and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Sessions can be held by video call or phone, and short check-ins or focused work can happen over live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
