About Angela

Angela Grimes is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday pressures like stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. Angela aims to make the first step feel less daunting by offering steady support and practical guidance.

She uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods in sessions. Clients can expect clear conversations about what’s causing strain and small, doable steps to change daily routines and thinking patterns. The work often centers on improving mood, managing stress, and finding better ways to cope with life transitions.

Angela also helps people facing relationship problems, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, addictions, and ADHD-related struggles. She pays attention to caregiver stress, aging concerns, and medical-related issues such as cancer. Her practice addresses many intersecting problems, from communication troubles to codependency and substance concerns.

In sessions she practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she mixes looking at unhelpful thinking with setting short-term, realistic goals. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on skills you can use between meetings.

Her approach is calm and nonjudgmental. She invites honest talk about thoughts and feelings and works with each person to build a plan that fits their life. If you want to begin, use the Start Therapy button to complete the short questionnaire and schedule a meeting.

How Angela uses CBT and Solution-Focused work online

Angela practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy by helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep problems because it turns abstract worries into concrete steps to test and change.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify short-term goals and build on existing strengths. This approach zeroes in on what is working and sets simple, practical targets to move forward, which can feel encouraging when stress feels overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Angela will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit. That may mean combining CBT thinking work with solution-focused goal-setting so sessions match what the client wants to accomplish.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel logistics, or options that reduce the need for high bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and goal-tracking to work well in remote sessions, helping clients make steady progress without changing their daily routine.
