About Angela
Angela Hernandez is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma, bipolar mood patterns, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Angela works in Wisconsin and offers care in English, including to international clients.
Her approach centers on the person and their story. She listens for what matters to each client and helps them set goals that fit their life.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and practical, with a focus on small, doable changes that add up over time. Angela uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and rewrite unhelpful stories. She also draws on Client-Centered ideas to keep the work grounded in the client’s perspective.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when thinking patterns and behaviors need clearer tools and structure. She has worked with a wide range of concerns and backgrounds over nearly two decades. That experience informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Practical matters are part of the process. Angela offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to begin work toward their goals.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Angela uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and rewrite the stories that keep them stuck. That approach can be helpful for issues like identity, relationship patterns, shame, and long-held beliefs about oneself. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead so goals reflect what the person values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed when clients want concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients try different methods until they find what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques based on progress and client feedback rather than sticking rigidly to a single model.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, shorter or longer check-ins, and ways to keep momentum between sessions.
