About Angela

Dr. Angela Montgomery Timmons brings 40 years of clinical practice to her work as a licensed clinical social worker in California.

Background and approach

She draws on extensive experience supporting people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and significant life transitions, helping them explore motivation, confidence, and self-esteem. Her background also includes assisting clients facing caregiver stress, workplace difficulties, isolation, and struggles around forgiveness, guilt, and control.

Dr. Timmons emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can discuss thoughts and emotions honestly.

She integrates evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices, while maintaining a client-centered stance that honors each person’s goals and values. Many clients come to her seeking greater clarity, improved coping skills, and a more satisfying sense of purpose, and she supports that work through collaborative planning and practical strategies.

Available to English-speaking clients in California, Dr. Timmons offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

She encourages prospective clients to take the initial step toward change and partners with them to set realistic, meaningful goals for therapy.

Practical approaches for online healing and growth

Dr. Timmons commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood fluctuations, and improve behavior. Client-centered work prioritizes the client's perspective, offering reflective listening and empathy to help people clarify values, increase self-acceptance, and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Timmons works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so therapy reflects what feels most helpful and sustainable for the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options let clients maintain momentum between meetings, balance therapy with daily responsibilities, and access care from different locations within California. The variety of formats also makes it easier to try different ways of engaging while the therapist and client determine the best therapeutic fit together.
