Angela Currier , LCSW

Angela Currier is an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker - who brings more than 17 years of social work experience to her practice in Maine. She has worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and has focused much of her career on depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and the challenges of parenting. Her professional history includes eight years as a clinician in a residential program serving at-risk youth and a role as program manager at a residential substance abuse program for women, as well as substantial work with families in crisis facing potential child protective involvement.

Clients have reported that they find her honest and direct, non-judgmental, and a good listener. She views the role of a clinician as someone who can walk alongside people through difficult life experiences, and she believes that being heard is often a meaningful part of healing. Angela aims to meet clients where they are and adapts to the communication style they prefer, offering video sessions, phone calls, and in-app messaging.

Initial meetings emphasize building a therapeutic alliance so that clients feel a strong fit with their clinician. She typically has more availability in the evenings and on weekends and checks messages often during weekdays. Angela is not currently accepting new clients.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and Mindfulness Approaches Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and safety. In practice it helps people explore relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, and ways to build more secure bonds with partners, family members, and themselves. Client-Centered Therapy is grounded in respect and empathy and emphasizes the person’s perspective - the therapist offers support and reflection while the client leads the pace and direction of change, which can help with issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, present-focused practices for noticing thoughts and feelings without judgment; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and improving emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is treated as a collaborative effort. Angela, as an LCSW, works with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time in partnership with the client. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to create an individualized plan.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are not possible, while still allowing meaningful connection with a therapist.
