About Angela
Angela Hicks is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with seven years of professional experience. She earned a Master of Social Work and has worked in a variety of clinical settings since 2018, including inpatient and outpatient care.
Background and approach
Her training includes diagnostic assessment and psychotherapy, and she draws on that background to tailor treatment plans to each person’s needs. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and self-esteem concerns, along with related issues such as panic attacks, mood and personality concerns, and struggles with isolation or codependency.
Angela blends several evidence-informed methods, using a multicultural, integrated framework that centers the client’s perspective and goals. She emphasizes collaboration and aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore feelings and develop practical coping skills.
Angela supports adults ages 18 to 65 and uses approaches that promote skill-building, emotional regulation, and narrative exploration. She encourages people to take incremental steps toward a more satisfying life and offers guidance to help clients identify priorities, reduce distress, and strengthen resilience.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Angela often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for clients experiencing intense emotions or relationship difficulties.She also uses client-centered principles that prioritize the person’s experience, listening carefully and working collaboratively to shape goals and strategies. Together the therapist and client explore what feels most useful, adapting techniques over time so the approach matches evolving needs and preferences.
Online therapy with Angela is offered through several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to access ongoing support between appointments, and allow clients to choose the communication style that fits their life. Licensed professionals can use these methods to deliver the same skill training, reflective work, and practical problem-solving that in-person therapy provides, while making it more convenient to maintain consistent care.
