About Angela
Angela Hernandez is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience who focuses on common and painful concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, bipolar mood changes, and relationship or intimacy struggles. She centers care on each person's goals and priorities. Angela listens, helps set small goals, and guides people through next steps they can manage between sessions.
Her style is warm and direct. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thought and DBT skills to manage strong emotions and improve coping. Angela often helps people facing issues tied to identity and belonging, including LGBT concerns, as well as problems like low self-esteem, anger, and body image distress.
She also addresses complex presentations such as co-occurring conditions, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and challenges linked to attachment or abandonment. She has practiced across settings that included individual and group work. Angela holds LCSW, which she uses to provide clinical support in Wisconsin.
She offers a practical blend of talk-based work and hands-on skills practice so people can try new ways of responding outside sessions. Sessions focus on what someone wants to change first. From there she and the person build a plan that blends short-term strategies and deeper reflections.
The approach aims to reduce distress, increase daily functioning, and help people feel more in control of their choices.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's priorities and building goals together. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps a person decide what to work on next; it is useful for people wanting support that follows their pace and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Angela can help someone notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try concrete experiments to change reactions, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and some relationship problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These tools are practical for people who get overwhelmed by strong emotions or who want step-by-step ways to stay steady under stress.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted as work continues so the methods match what actually helps.
Online therapy can make regular care easier to use. Video calls let people meet face to face when a commute is difficult. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers voice only. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, caregiving, or health limitations.
