Angela Howes , LISW, LCSW

Angela Howes is a licensed social worker based in Ohio with five years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation struggles, self-esteem concerns, and confidence building. She works with clients to create a compassionate space where life experiences - both positive and painful - can be explored and processed. Angela adapts conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs and goals, recognizing that what helps one person may not fit another.

She holds the credentials LISW and LCSW, which stand for Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker respectively - professional licenses that reflect advanced training and authorization to provide clinical social work services. Angela approaches care with an emphasis on safety, empathy, and practical support, and she acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage. She affirms clients for taking that step and partners with them to move toward clearer coping strategies and stronger self-understanding.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angela Howes integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s priorities guide each session - this approach supports personal exploration and self-directed growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is considered part of the therapeutic process. Angela collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy with Angela is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from locations that fit their lives.
