About Angela
Angela Gardner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with nine years of post-licensure experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and concerns such as self-esteem and sleep. She also addresses parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship and family challenges.
Before earning her LCSW in 2018, she worked in mental health settings that included hospitals and jails. That background includes work with people who have had acute mental health diagnoses, addiction, and trauma. She has also taught at the university level and brings that experience into sessions when it helps clarify difficult topics.
Her style is straightforward and flexible. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Sessions often focus on identifying the feelings and interaction patterns that keep problems stuck and then practicing different ways of responding.
In practical terms she talks through current problems, learns what the person wants to change, and tries small, manageable steps in session. She pays attention to behavior, emotion, and how communication affects daily life. That can mean working on coping skills for anxiety, creating steps for recovery from addiction, or addressing grief and shame.

How Angela integrates EFT and practical methods in remote sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on how emotions and attachment patterns shape current reactions and relationship habits. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and try different ways of responding to those feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead so goals come from the client, not the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will discuss what matters most to the person, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time. This is collaborative and practical - the aim is to identify what helps and to use techniques that fit the client’s priorities and day-to-day life.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when needed. Different methods suit different situations - for example CBT exercises can be useful for brief skill practice, while EFT-style conversations help with deeper emotional patterns. Angela will discuss which approach and session length best match each person’s goals.
