About Angelamaria
Angelamaria Riedi is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, and stress. She aims to make the first step simple: talking through what feels hard and figuring out one small next step.
She has six years of professional experience and has worked with people at many life stages, including older adults.
Background and approach
That background informs her approach to aging, caregiver stress, and long-term health concerns. She also has experience supporting people facing substance use challenges and LGBTQ+ individuals. Her style is nonjudgmental and strengths-based.
She helps clients identify what’s already working in their lives and build from those strengths. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope, clearer communication, and small changes that add up. Angelamaria uses a mix of evidence-based methods tailored to each person’s needs.
She listens for patterns, helps set realistic goals, and supports clients as they try new strategies between sessions. Her aim is to help people feel more in control and connected to their values. She offers sessions in English and works remotely through video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule according to her availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Angelamaria draws on evidence-based techniques tailored to each person. One common approach she uses focuses on strengths-based work - identifying what a person already does well and building on those skills to manage stress, parenting challenges, or relationship tensions. This method helps people find practical ways to apply their existing abilities to current problems.She also incorporates trauma-informed coping strategies that prioritize safety and pacing. These techniques help people manage symptoms of trauma and abuse, dissociation, or overwhelming stress by teaching grounding skills and gradual exposure to distressing memories when the person is ready.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will listen to concerns, discuss options, and adjust methods based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide what to try first and revisit progress over time.
Online therapy gives flexibility for busy families and people with mobility or caregiving responsibilities. Video and phone sessions let people meet face-to-face from home, while live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing notes between appointments. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into a hectic schedule and keep therapy practical and accessible.
