About Angela

Angela Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and addictions, among other struggles. Angela accepts clients who speak English and does not take international clients.

Angela uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered methods, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In sessions she focuses on feelings, connection, and patterns that keep people stuck. She helps people name emotions that feel confusing and figure out practical next steps they can try between sessions.

Her background includes many years helping adults with grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also works with people around ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiver stress. Additional areas of focus listed include adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and blended family challenges.

Angela draws on life experience with grief, parenting, marriage and divorce, and family members who have faced addiction and mental health conditions. Those experiences inform how she listens and responds, while clinical approaches guide the structure of sessions. Sessions are organized around client goals and what people most want to change.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions and attachment patterns in relationships. It is often used when people want to understand how emotions shape interactions and to shift repeating patterns that cause distress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. ACT techniques can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by building practical skills for coping and action.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She discusses what feels helpful and adapts the focus as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant to the person's situation.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow people to join from different locations. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins or for times when using video is difficult, while others work well for longer sessions that involve deeper emotional processing.
