Angela Mallard, LPC, LMHC

Angela Mallard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, going through a midlife crisis, or struggling with anxiety and depression. She listens closely and works with each person to set practical goals they can use between sessions.

She has spent much of her career in outpatient settings, including schools, offices, and in-home family therapy. That background shaped a practical approach to common life problems. Angela has supported people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered work to follow each person’s pace, and solution-focused methods to identify small changes that make a difference. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when thoughts and behaviors get stuck, and mindfulness exercises are used to calm the body and clear thinking.

Angela describes her style as sensitive and compassionate. She emphasizes collaboration - understanding your story, strengths, and goals before making a plan. Sessions aim to both support and empower, with concrete steps to try between meetings.

People often come for help with communication, blended family issues, caregiver stress, abandonment or adoption concerns, first responder stress, and life-purpose questions. Angela also works with issues related to LGBT identity, veteran and armed forces experiences, and recovery after domestic violence.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Angela often draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, understanding your story, and shaping goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for managing overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Plans can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new priorities arise.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to continue work between sessions and apply new skills in everyday situations.
