Compassionate, Holistic Support for Your Healing Journey Welcome-I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous act of self-care. Whether you are navigating a complex emotional landscape, struggling with past trauma, or simply feeling "stuck," please know that you do not have to walk this path alone.
My Approach & Style My therapy style is warm, interactive, and deeply collaborative. I believe in treating everyone with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and compassion. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with over six years of mental health experience, I am committed to creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard.
I take a holistic, person-centered approach to healing. This means I view you as a whole person, not a set of symptoms. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels; instead, I focus on helping you develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful life strategies.
To help you find balance, I integrate evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To help shift patterns of thinking that no longer serve you.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills: To provide tangible tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Somatic Therapy: To help process how trauma and stress are held within the body.
Areas of Specialization I have extensive experience walking alongside clients through a variety of challenges, including:
Anxiety & OCD: Including social anxiety and chronic worry.
Depression & Mood Regulation: Finding hope and strategies for daily life.
Trauma & PTSD: Specialized support for physical/emotional abuse, assault, and complex trauma.
Neurodiversity: Supporting individuals and families navigating ADHD.
Life Transitions & Work Stress: Managing behavioral issues at school/home or professional burnout.
Relationship & Parenting Dynamics: Improving communication and healing family stressors.
A Space for Growth My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, supportive environment where you can safely explore your experiences. Whether we are working through significant life changes or healing from the past, I am committed to walking alongside you with genuine care and professional expertise.
You are capable of healing and growth. Whenever you’re ready, I am here to start that process with you.

03 · What happens next
Angela practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Angela's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Angela at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Angela is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Angela.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Angela actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Angela's - Angela has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Angela's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Angela. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
