About Angela
Angela Grimes is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 19 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, motivation, self-esteem, and depression as common issues she addresses with adults.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. Angela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that affect mood and behavior. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals and identify small steps that make a difference.
In conversations she keeps language direct and concrete. Sessions typically involve looking at current problems, finding what already works, and trying small changes to improve daily functioning. She helps people weigh options and develop routines that fit their life stage and responsibilities.
Angela has worked across clinical settings over nearly two decades. That experience includes supporting people through grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and caregiving stress. She also has experience with long-term mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and with issues linked to major life transitions.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about coping skills and planning for next steps. Angela helps people practice strategies in between meetings and track what changes. For a first appointment, follow the site's process to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Angela often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to define clear goals and plan small, practical steps that feel doable. These approaches aim to change what happens day to day rather than only talk about the past.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Angela will discuss what seems most useful based on the client's current needs, goals, and preferences. Together they work out whether to focus first on coping skills, thought patterns, or goal-setting, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between major life events such as starting a job or moving. They also let people use shorter sessions for a focused skill practice or longer meetings for deeper planning, depending on how sessions are arranged. Licensed professionals can help decide what session rhythm fits everyday life and commitments.
