About Angela
Angela Avery is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 22 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. She focuses on building the strengths people already have so they can move toward the life they want.
She uses a warm, collaborative approach and meets people where they are. Sessions are paced to the individual's needs, with a focus on clear goals and steady steps forward.
Background and approach
Angela values listening first and shaping a plan together rather than imposing a rigid method. Narrative therapy ideas guide much of her work, encouraging people to reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Attachment-based perspectives are used to understand how early relationships affect current patterns.
She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's priorities. Angela integrates practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy when needed. That can include simple tools for managing anxiety, regulating intense emotions, or improving communication.
These tools are taught in everyday language and practiced between sessions. She has experience helping people with parenting stress, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, and caregiver fatigue. Other areas include intimacy struggles, anger, coping with major life changes, and challenges tied to trauma or domestic violence.
People who want a respectful, steady guide for untangling difficult feelings may find her approach helpful. The work focuses on small, achievable changes that add up over time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Angela directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas work online
Angela uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and to try out different, more helpful ways of understanding their lives. That approach is useful for identity questions, life transitions, and problems tied to old messages about worth or blame. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to map how earlier relationships shape current patterns in close connections and communication, which can help with trust, intimacy, or parenting concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela treats therapy as a collaboration - she listens to what matters most and adjusts methods to fit each person's goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist decide which ideas and tools feel most useful and make a plan that can change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be less bandwidth intensive and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These formats make it easier to work consistently, even with busy schedules or travel.
