About Angela
Angela Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Montana. She draws on her experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, trauma, and life changes. Her tone is direct and encouraging, aimed at people who want practical steps and steady support.
She spent eight years on active duty in the U.S. Navy before moving into clinical work. That background informs her calm, no-nonsense approach to problem solving and crisis moments.
Background and approach
Angela has three years of post-licensure experience working with a range of issues including mood disorders, substance use, anger, and family-of-origin challenges. Sessions tend to be interactive and grounded. She uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes each person’s strengths.
Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to spot patterns and build new habits. Dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness skills help with emotional regulation and staying present. Narrative elements are woven into sessions to help people reframe stories that limit them.
Emotionally-focused techniques are used when relationship patterns and attachment themes come up. Angela also offers practical tools such as worksheets, books, apps, and creative exercises when useful. She prefers a collaborative planning style and often suggests homework options to make progress between meetings.
Clients decide which tools fit their life. The focus is on clear steps, steady skill-building, and respectful support that makes change feel achievable.

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.

How narrative and skill-based approaches work online
Angela blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives and creating alternative, more empowering narratives. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building on a person’s strengths to guide decisions and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and day-to-day life to shape an approach that fits. Sessions often combine talking, skill practice, and short exercises agreed on together so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when being off-camera helps focus. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when a shorter interaction fits a break at work. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep momentum between sessions.
