About Angela
Angela Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Montana. She brings three years of clinical experience and a background that includes eight years of active duty service in the U.S.
Background and approach
Navy. Angela aims to meet people where they are and support steady steps toward clearer thinking and healthier routines.
Her style is warm, interactive, and validating. Sessions focus on practical skills and honest conversation.
She emphasizes strengths and treats each person with respect and quiet encouragement. Angela draws from several approaches, including the Gottman Method for relationship work, cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and client-centered techniques that keep the person’s goals central.
She also uses dialectical behavior therapy and emotion-focused ideas when they fit a client's needs. In sessions she often offers homework to extend progress between meetings.
Options include worksheets, brief exercises, apps, or creative activities like writing and movement. These are offered as choices and adjusted based on what the person finds useful.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, coping with life changes, addiction-related issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and career questions. Angela also works with blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and other related concerns.
Sessions are held in English and are available through multiple online formats. She supports people looking for steady, practical steps and a respectful, strengths-focused approach to change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Angela uses the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and manage conflict in relationships. That approach focuses on clear, teachable skills for interacting more constructively and rebuilding trust when it has been strained.She also uses client-centered therapy, which keeps the session focused on the person’s goals and experience. This approach emphasizes active listening, empathy, and building on each person’s strengths to guide change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Angela treats it as a collaboration - she will discuss what seems likely to help, try methods that feel appropriate, and adjust plans based on how things go and what the person prefers.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well when visual cues and real-time conversation matter. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options are meant to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
