Angela Paul, LCSW, CSW

Angela Paul is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with substance use or other addictive behaviors. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people feel seen and respected. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and goals. Angela has three years of clinical experience and has worked with adults from varied backgrounds, including people in rural and underserved areas. She supports those coping with alcohol use and behavioral addictions such as gambling or problematic social media use. She also helps with mood problems, panic, trauma, and stress connected to life stages like perimenopause and menopause. Her style is relaxed and collaborative. She centers each person’s goals and values and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and Motivational Interviewing to explore change when substance use or coping behaviors are involved. Angela also incorporates Solution-Focused strategies to build practical steps and early wins. She works from a harm reduction perspective, which means she supports people whether they aim for moderation or abstinence and respects the pace that feels right. Her goal is to help people find new coping skills, strengthen their resilience, and reconnect with hope. People who want straightforward, down-to-earth support for depression, anxiety, addictions, or life transitions may find her approach a good fit.
