About Angela
Angela Grimes is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She draws on 19 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Angela focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear. Her sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones.
How Angela works
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build on strengths and develop concrete next steps for problems like sleeping trouble, anger, or motivation struggles. Angela also supports people facing relationship strain, caregiving stress, grief, and substance issues. She brings nearly two decades of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including bipolar symptoms, ADHD, body image, and adjustment after life changes.
Her approach is practical rather than theoretical, so people leave sessions with things to try between meetings. In sessions she creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken honestly. She encourages collaboration on goals and keeps the work focused on what matters most to each person.
Angela helps people find clearer choices and build manageable routines that lead to steadier days.

Approaches that guide online care
Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing mood swings. Solution-Focused Therapy is another approach she uses; it emphasizes strengths and small, achievable steps to move past current problems and build momentum.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins or when a shorter contact fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
