About Angela

Angela Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with 19 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and bipolar mood concerns. She also supports people facing anger, self-esteem struggles, and LGBT-related life stressors.

Her practice uses a person-centered approach that focuses on what each client wants to accomplish. Sessions are collaborative and goal focused. She works with adults and with people age 16 and older as noted in her original biography.

Angela draws on several therapy methods in session, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior approaches, existential questions, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her shift between exploring thoughts and feelings and trying practical skills to manage symptoms.

She has substantial experience addressing trauma and PTSD, mood fluctuations, and co-occurring substance use concerns. She also brings perspective on cultural and LGBTQ+ issues and on life-stage stressors. Her background includes individual, group, family and couples work as part of broader clinical experience.

In sessions she focuses on clear objectives that clients choose. Expect conversations that clarify problems, identify small behavioral steps, and practice coping skills. For many people this means working on communication patterns, emotion regulation strategies, and choices that improve day-to-day functioning.

Angela works in Wisconsin and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling preferences through the platform match process.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Angela uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening to the client's concerns and following their goals. This approach helps when people need to sort out values, life choices, or what matters most to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood management by teaching concrete skills.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills appear in her work to help with emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for strong emotions, anger, relationship strain, and improving day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which combination of methods fits the person's goals and circumstances. That decision is made together and can change over time as goals evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking since the profile does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other obligations. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and for choosing video or audio that best suits a person’s comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and homework to work in remote sessions so clients practice skills in everyday life.
