About Angela

Angela Schuckhardt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and identity. She also supports clients dealing with addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and life transitions.

Her sessions tend to focus on emotions and attachment patterns. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. That means conversations aim to track feelings, notice recurring interaction patterns, and try small changes to how people relate to themselves and others.

Angela draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy techniques when helpful. These methods are used to shift unhelpful stories about the self and to find practical next steps. Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage anxiety, sleeping problems, and overwhelm.

Her work addresses specific areas like body image, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, eating and food-related concerns, and coping with disaster or loss. She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue related to caregiving or work environments.

Sessions are aimed at making emotions easier to name and understand, and at improving everyday coping. Prospective clients in New York can expect a straightforward, emotion-focused approach that emphasizes noticing patterns, trying manageable changes, and building clearer communication habits.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to help people name and work with strong feelings that fuel repeating patterns. EFT can be useful for those who want to understand attachment and emotional responses that affect relationships and daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s pace, helping people feel heard and to make their own decisions about change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjust methods if needed. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different ways of working without committing to any single method upfront.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, and choose sessions that match your energy level on a given day. Licensed professionals often combine emotion-focused conversation with short mindfulness exercises and practical planning to support coping between sessions.
