About Angela
Angela Murphy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 18 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship matters, grief, self-esteem, depression, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, career questions, and coping with life changes. Angela works using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people make practical changes.
She prefers straightforward conversations. Angela treats the person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are a place to talk through current problems and to try concrete steps that can improve day-to-day functioning.
Her approach mixes listening with active problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable changes and practical goals. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the client’s perspective and priorities.
Angela commonly helps with communication problems, divorce and separation, life purpose questions, midlife transitions, obsessive thoughts or compulsions, issues with self-love, sexual dysfunction, and challenges faced by young adults. She aims to break problems into manageable parts and to track progress in simple ways.
Sessions tend to be direct and goal-oriented while still allowing time to process loss or emotional pain. People who want clear steps and reflective conversation may find this approach useful. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s perspective and priorities. Online work with this approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and following what the client brings to each session. This helps with issues like grief, self-esteem, and relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors. In online sessions CBT often includes tracking thoughts, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and reviewing progress together. This is useful for stress, anxiety, obsessions, and mood concerns.
Solution-Focused Therapy highlights small, practical steps. Online meetings can set short-term goals and check progress quickly, which fits career decisions, communication problems, and life changes.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, needs, and how they prefer to work. That decision can change as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Clients should discuss practical preferences during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
