About Angela

Angela Hernandez is an LCSW who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Angela approaches clients with respect and the belief that they know their own story best.

She uses a person-centered approach and works alongside each client to set goals that matter to them. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative, with clear steps to try between meetings. Angela mixes different methods so the work fits each person rather than forcing a single model.

Her practice also attends to codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, communication and control issues, and caregiver stress. She brings attention to how life stressors and identity factors shape everyday choices and relationships. That includes attention to LGBT experiences and culture-specific concerns.

Angela has 19 years of clinical experience and holds a licensed clinical social worker credential. She practices in Wisconsin and works with adults 16 and older. She welcomes people from different backgrounds and life stages and adapts her approach to each person’s needs.

In sessions she emphasizes clear goals, strengths, and small changes that add up. People can expect a respectful environment where practical strategies and personal meaning are both part of the work.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead to set goals. Online work using this approach centers on what the person wants to change and practical steps that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small changes. In online sessions CBT can guide homework, behavior experiments, and tracking between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotion, improving relationships, and tolerating distress; skills work can be reviewed and practiced during remote appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Angela will collaborate with clients to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change or new challenges emerge.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer barriers to keeping appointments. Some people find phone or video sessions let them check in more often or try brief follow-ups. This therapist’s biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking to make sure they match your schedule and needs.
