About Angela
Angela Whitecrane Widdicombe helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, and major life changes. She is Angela Whitecrane Widdicombe, a licensed clinical social worker and a licensed marriage and family therapist with thirty years of experience.

She uses down-to-earth conversation to sort through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can try between meetings.
How Angela works
Angela draws on practical methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to reduce overwhelm and manage mood swings. Attachment-based ideas guide her work around relationship patterns and communication. Emotionally-focused methods help people name and move through painful emotions so they feel less stuck.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people who want a different way to live with hard thoughts and feelings. Her background includes long experience in clinical settings, work with people affected by addiction, and support for those facing poverty and trauma. That experience shapes how she responds to intense situations and complicated histories.
Angela pays close attention to safety, pacing, and what a person can handle in a single session. People meet her style as warm, direct, and steady. She aims to build trust and practical coping skills rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation, with clear next steps and homework when useful.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for chronic anxiety, stress, and managing painful emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful reactions and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions; it helps people who struggle with closeness, trust, and communication.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Angela works with each person to understand their needs and goals, then tries methods that fit their situation. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something isn’t helping, so therapy evolves with the client’s progress.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping continuity of care with licensed professionals.
