About Angela

Angela Kazmierczak is a licensed clinical social worker with over 21 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed tools to support clients facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and caregiver strain, intimacy and self-esteem issues, bipolar mood concerns, and challenges such as ADHD, career uncertainty, and compassion fatigue. Her style blends an empathetic, client-centered stance with practical, skills-based techniques.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used alongside mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to build coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and set meaningful goals. Clients work collaboratively to explore values, address patterns like impulsivity or shame, and develop concrete plans for navigating change.

Based in New York and credentialed as LCSW-R, Angela integrates attention to relational and situational factors such as adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, infidelity, divorce and separation, and midlife questions. She aims to offer a respectful, goal-oriented process that balances understanding with action to help clients move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it often involves practical exercises and homework to build new skills. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help with mood instability, intense emotions, and impulsive patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting methods as needed to fit each person's situation and pace rather than assuming a single technique will be best from the start.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and flexible scheduling so clients can access care in ways that match their routines and needs.
