Angelamaria Riedi, LCSW

Angelamaria Riedi is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and addiction. She also supports people facing stress from work, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, and the ups and downs of life. Angelamaria works in a direct and caring way so people can start talking about what matters to them.

She has six years of clinical experience and has worked with people across the lifespan, from adolescents to seniors. That background informs her work with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, and chronic illness. She has also supported people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, dissociation, and co-occurring substance use challenges.

Her style is non-judgmental and strengths-based. She helps clients identify what they already do well and uses those abilities to build change. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer communication, and manageable shifts rather than long theoretical conversations.

Angelamaria is LGBTQ+ friendly and experienced with diverse cultural backgrounds. She describes herself as open-minded and caring, and she aims to create a space where people feel heard and respected. She encourages clients to move toward greater self-awareness and connection at a pace that feels right.

To start, she asks people to share their current concerns and goals so therapy can be tailored to each person. Her work often includes coping strategies for stress, support through life transitions, and focused help for relationship and intimacy-related worries.

Approaches that guide online work and change

Angelamaria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a strengths-based lens to help people address specific problems. A strengths-based approach highlights a person’s existing skills and resources, then builds on those to make gradual changes and improve day-to-day functioning. This approach can help with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and regaining confidence after setbacks.

She also draws on trauma-informed methods to support people who have experienced abuse, dissociation, or domestic violence. Trauma-informed work focuses on safety, pacing, and helping people make sense of difficult experiences while minimizing re-triggering. That kind of care can be useful for processing past harm and improving emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will tailor techniques and check in regularly to adjust the plan as needed, so therapy fits each person's pace and needs.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to attend regular check-ins. Ask during scheduling about practical details and how sessions will be structured to match your goals.
