About Angela

Angela Grimes is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio who emphasizes practical, evidence-informed strategies to help clients move forward.

Background and approach

Drawing on nearly 19 years of clinical experience, she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior linked to stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, anger, and addictive behaviors. Her work also incorporates solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and build momentum for change.

Grimes addresses a broad range of concerns including parenting challenges, self-esteem, relationship and family problems, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and issues related to aging or caregiving. She offers support for people coping with life transitions, chronic illness impact such as cancer, and difficulties like codependency, communication problems, or substance use.

Clients can expect a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where practical skills and short-term strategies are paired with attention to individual circumstances. Therapeutic work with Angela centers on identifying specific challenges, developing manageable steps, and reinforcing progress over time.

Her approach aims to help clients build coping tools and clearer directions for daily life while respecting each person’s pace and priorities.

How Angela Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Angela commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to practice specific skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. She also employs Solution-Focused Therapy to clarify priorities quickly and co-create small, achievable steps that build momentum toward concrete goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Angela works with each person to understand their needs and preferences, then tailors interventions so the methods fit the client's goals and pace rather than applying a single formula.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. This range of formats makes it possible to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other obligations, while allowing clients to practice strategies between meetings and check in in ways that suit their daily life.
