About Angela
Angela Currier is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, collaborative help for people facing hard times. She uses a direct, nonjudgmental approach and prioritizes building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. Angela works with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance-related concerns, and parenting stress.
She brings three years of current clinical experience and a longer history as a social worker supporting people from varied backgrounds. Her background includes work in residential programs and program management in substance abuse services for women. That experience shaped a straightforward style that centers listening and real problem solving.
Angela draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum toward goals. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to strengthen relationships and center each person’s experience. Narrative and Mindfulness therapies are part of her toolkit when reframing stories and calming the body are needed.
Sessions emphasize practical steps, honest conversation, and developing coping skills that fit daily life. Angela says early meetings focus on seeing if the fit feels right and establishing goals together. She aims to be flexible around how people prefer to connect and to offer an open, steady presence while they work through challenges.
People often seek support for grief, relationship issues, self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, eating concerns, and life transitions. Angela also works with adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and communication problems.

How these approaches translate to online care
Angela uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters most to them and build small steps toward change. That approach is useful for habits, addictions, and situations where motivation feels stuck.
She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to center relationships and personal experience. Attachment work focuses on how early connection patterns affect current relationships, and Client-Centered work keeps the conversation grounded in each person’s needs and pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angela will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, life situation, and what feels comfortable. Early sessions focus on testing the fit and setting collaborative goals.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online options can make it easier to check in during evenings or weekends and to use shorter sessions when a quick coaching-style touchpoint is helpful. Confirm the exact session formats offered before you schedule so they match your needs and routine. -
