About Angela
Angela Paul is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people navigate anxiety, stress, and problems with substance use. She works in a down-to-earth, supportive way that centers the person's goals. People who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or who cope with emotions through substances or behaviors may find her approach practical and compassionate.
She brings three years of clinical experience and has worked with adults from varied backgrounds, including rural and underserved communities in Colorado. Her focus includes alcohol use, behavioral addictions like gambling and problematic social media use, mood challenges including depression, and stress linked to life stages such as perimenopause and menopause. Panic disorder and panic attacks are among the concerns she lists.
Her style is laid-back and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set goals that match their values. She uses evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build skills and change unhelpful patterns.
Angela also uses a harm reduction model, which means she supports people at whatever pace of change fits them. That can include working toward moderation or toward abstinence depending on what a person wants. The work focuses on coping skills, managing cravings or anxiety, and finding steps that feel doable.
Her practice emphasizes practical tools and steady support. Sessions aim to help people reduce distress, strengthen coping, and reclaim a clearer sense of direction and hope.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Angela draws from well-known, evidence-based techniques to guide therapy in clear, practical terms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or panic by teaching specific coping skills and breathing or grounding strategies. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own motivation to change; it is useful when someone feels unsure about cutting back or changing a behavior. Solution-Focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable steps and existing strengths to build momentum toward goals.Finding the right approach is a process. Angela works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try strategies, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan so it fits day-to-day life and values.
