About Angela
Angela Haas is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She uses Motivational Interviewing alongside client-centered and solution-focused approaches to help people take steps toward change. Angela aims to support clients through stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, family conflict, and depression in a straightforward, compassionate way.
She focuses on practical, short-term goals that fit into daily life. Sessions often start by identifying what matters most to the person and what small steps feel doable. Angela draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thought and behavior, and on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change.
Angela also helps with issues like body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and impulsivity. She offers strategies for coping with isolation, workplace pressure, panic symptoms, and post-traumatic stress, tailoring conversations to each person’s situation.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages small, measurable progress and checks in on what works and what doesn’t. If someone finds starting therapy hard, she acknowledges that challenge and focuses on realistic next steps.
She works in English and practices in Michigan. People who are curious about trying therapy are invited to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

How Angela applies Motivational Interviewing and CBT online
Angela uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to build motivation from their own values and goals. This approach is helpful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making changes like reducing substance use or shifting habits.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice small, concrete changes that reduce anxiety, panic symptoms, or depressive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy guides the conversation so the person feels heard and drives the pace of work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. She focuses on clear, achievable steps rather than large promises about outcomes.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist and client will choose the format and timing that best fit the person’s needs and daily life. -
