About Angela
Angela Therrien is an LMHC who focuses on work related to stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, grief, and self-esteem. She practices in Massachusetts and brings 13 years of clinical experience to her sessions. Angela offers warm but direct care and expects honest communication from the people she meets. She only offers video sessions at this time.
Before shifting to private practice, Angela spent many years helping people with opioid addiction and supporting those on medication-assisted treatment. She also has experience working with men in correctional settings. Those roles shaped a straightforward therapy style that mixes empathy with clear, goal-focused direction.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy with dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness, plus elements of motivational interviewing and psychodynamic work. Angela listens, paraphrases, and checks understanding to make sure the plan fits each person. She often assigns homework and encourages practical skills that can be used between sessions.
Angela does not use stigmatizing labels and believes the past does not determine the future. She is open about limits to her expertise and will discuss referrals when a different clinician would better meet someone’s needs. Progress is framed as a gradual process that takes patience from both people in the room.
If someone is ready to change, Angela offers a direct, compassionate partnership to get started. Her video-only format is intended to make scheduling and ongoing work more practical for many clients.
How Angela’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Angela uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve everyday coping. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce rumination, which often helps with stress and low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. She explains ideas clearly, checks understanding, and uses homework to see what works between sessions.
All sessions are offered by video only, so confirm that video appointments meet your needs before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow consistent weekly check-ins. They also make it possible to practice skills in real-life routines and bring questions about work and wellbeing directly into sessions.
