About Angela
Angela Howes is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience. She practices in Ohio and focuses on life changes that leave people feeling stuck, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, and questions about life purpose.
She works in a conversational, client-centered way. Sessions usually start by listening to what matters most now, then setting small, practical goals. Angela uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to identify unhelpful patterns and try different steps in daily life.
Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox. Those approaches are used to build awareness of thoughts and to increase motivation for change. Her approach emphasizes short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection when needed.
Angela says she adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. She helps people address practical problems like sleep, routines, and relationships, while also talking through loss, grief, and feelings of isolation. She notes compassion fatigue and parenting strain as areas she often sees.
Her style is straightforward and action-oriented while allowing time for processing. People who are weighing career shifts, recovering from addictions, or rethinking what matters in life will find a mix of goal-setting and skills practice. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her methods translate to online work
Angela uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. This approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and shaping goals together so therapy stays focused on the client’s own priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and some addiction-related patterns because it breaks issues into manageable steps.
Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. These practices can help with emotional regulation, rumination, and building steady habits between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before to decide which methods to emphasize. That decision is made collaboratively and can shift over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, shortening travel time, and making it easier to schedule brief check-ins. Others prefer sessions that allow for longer reflection. Angela can help identify what scheduling and session length will best fit a person’s day-to-day life.
