About Angela
Angela Montague is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and address relationship problems. She also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps clients consider different ways to respond to those situations.
Angela has worked across many settings over three decades, which gives her familiarity with a range of life pressures. That experience includes supporting people with parenting concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and first responder issues. She also pays attention to multicultural concerns and the impact of prejudice and discrimination on mental health.
In sessions she talks through immediate concerns and longer-term plans. She can help with issues related to domestic violence, infidelity, family problems, and LGBT-related stress. Her style is practical: identify what is most urgent, set achievable steps, then review what helps and what needs to change.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time. Angela works in English and is not accepting international clients.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Angela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make concrete changes. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternatives; these techniques are often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-informed methods pay attention to how past harm affects current reactions and work slowly to increase tolerance for difficult memories and feelings. Motivational techniques help clarify what someone wants to change and build small steps toward that goal, which can be useful for addictions and behavior change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what is effective. The process is collaborative and focused on practical next steps and progress checks.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to continue weekly work from different locations when life demands change. Ask about the available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can pick what fits your routine.
