About Angela

Angela Harris is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, grief, parenting, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.

Harris trained in social work at East Carolina University, earning a Master of Social Work in 2012. Her background includes advocacy and hands-on support for LGBTQIA people and for undocumented community members. She has worked across different settings and has a history helping people manage co-occurring problems and complex life stressors.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people name practical next steps. She addresses motivation and coping skills, and talks through relationship and communication problems. When addiction or mood challenges are present, she works on managing symptoms alongside daily responsibilities.

She also focuses on family-related stresses such as blended family issues, caregiver strain, divorce and separation, and parenting concerns. Other areas she addresses include abandonment, codependency, control issues, and reactions to disaster or loss.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. People can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental approach that centers their priorities and practical change. To begin, follow the site process to view therapy options and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches translate to remote sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in practice include structured coping skills work to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms and behavioral strategies to address addiction and impulsive patterns. Coping skills work teaches concrete steps to manage stress, while behavioral strategies focus on changing routines and responses that maintain problematic behaviors.

Another common approach is communication and problem-solving work for relationship and family stress. This involves learning clearer ways to express needs, set boundaries, and negotiate changes in daily life. These methods help when worry, conflict, or role changes get in the way of functioning.

Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to clarify goals and choose approaches that fit their situation and preferences. That may mean mixing skill-building, behavioral tasks, and communication practice over several sessions.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography did not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote settings so work continues between meetings.
