Angela Hernandez, LCSW

Angela Hernandez is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience. She centers sessions on the person seeking help and focuses on what they need to feel more in control and satisfied in life. Angela works with adults on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, grief, bipolar mood changes, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people who are navigating LGBT experiences and trauma-related problems including abuse and PTSD.

Angela uses a straightforward, collaborative style. She helps people set goals they choose and then breaks those goals into small, practical steps. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying new ways to cope, and measuring what is or isn’t helping. She emphasizes each person’s strengths and lived experience when planning next steps.

Her background includes work across individual, group, couple, and family settings, and she has experience with diverse cultural and life-stage concerns. Angela has helped people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body-image problems, codependency, and challenges related to attachment or abandonment.

Her approaches include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential questions, and motivational interviewing. These are used flexibly to match a person’s needs rather than as a fixed protocol.

Angela is licensed as an LCSW in Wisconsin. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they help online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist offers support, reflection, and choices so people can decide what change looks like for them. This approach fits well for concerns like low self-esteem, relationship questions, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Exercises and small experiments are often part of sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes learning skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful for strong mood swings, intense reactions, or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angela will work collaboratively to identify which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying a mix of approaches and checking in regularly about what is or isn’t working.
