About Angela

Angela Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with seven years of professional experience. She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. Angela has worked in inpatient and outpatient clinical settings since 2018 and offers care for adults ages 18 to 65.

Her work focuses on stress and anxiety along with depression, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem. She also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and panic attacks. Sessions emphasize practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day functioning.

Angela tailors her approach to each person. She combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and narrative work. In practice this means she listens closely, helps people spot unhelpful patterns, and tries small experiments to change them.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Angela frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients in identifying values and realistic steps toward change.

Her background in assessment and psychotherapy across settings informs a flexible approach. People who want a therapist who blends practical skills with acceptance and exploration may find her style helpful. To begin, follow the platform's Start Therapy process to match and schedule.

How Angela’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to a person. It helps people feel heard and explore their values and goals before choosing specific steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. It uses clear, practical exercises to test and change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress happens.
