Angela is easily the best therapist I’ve ever had! She was easy to work with, helpful, and supportive. I always felt like I could tell her what was happening in my life and she would understand and be supportive. I made more progress in the few months we worked together than I did in years of therapy.

More about Angela
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LICSW
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in Alabama with over 10 years of experience working with young adults, military families and the LGBTQ+ community. I earned a Master of Social Work degree from Alabama A&M University. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues. I genuinely want to know and understand you. I will listen to your story with respect and empathy. While validating your feelings and experiences, I am committed to providing a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental atmosphere.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, holistic, and supportive. The client controls the pace and focus of our work. My approach combines person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapies, and motivational interviewing modalities. Realizing that no two people are alike, I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet the client's unique and specific needs.
We all experience challenging moments in our lives. It takes great courage to ask for help during these times. This is where counseling begins. I honor your bravery and your decision to find your joy and live your truth. I am available and dedicated to helping you live your best life. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Angela has been a wonderful part of my counseling experience. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to find focus and direction in their lives. She has a very comprehensive approach to counseling and managing everyday anxieties. In short, she has been a god send.
Angela and I are just getting started on my therapy journey. She is exactly what I need. She has me doing worksheets, goal setting, scheduling my time. These are all things I lack in my life and need guidance implementing them
Angela is empathetic and helpful when it comes to finding a solution to my issues. She listens and helps guide my thinking towards more healthy and helpful thoughts. She is friendly and amenable to messaging updates outside of our therapy time and finds helpful materials.
She is very engaging and comfortable to talk to! She listens well and gives insightful feedback.
Angela is amazing!!! She listens and she gets to the bottom of issues I have so quickly and explains it to me in a way that also makes sense to me as to why I’m having the issues I have. I’m so glad i decided to do the work for myself again with counseling. She is awesome at what she does
I'm just in the beginning stages of counseling and I'm glad I made the commitment to seek help through Betterhelp. My counselor Angela has shown up in all the ways you hope a counselor would which keeps pushing me. Angela has already helped me clear the fog and I'm excited for the road ahead.
Angela has been a helpful and kind counselor, and she has truly helped me process my grief in a healthy way.
Angela has been a pleasure with which to work. She is extremely knowledgeable about my issues and is always available for a listen and to offer insight. It is more like talking to a friend and isn’t intimidating. It is especially thoughtful that she respects my preference for communication which often differs depending on the time and situation. Also, she offers to provide worksheets, readings, and many other forms of materials that prove helpful which she offers only upon ask, without pressure. I continue to look forward to sessions with Angela and highly recommend.
