About Angela
Dr. Angela Legner is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people make sense of hard emotional experiences. She blends practical strategies with attentive listening to help clients manage depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes.
Dr. Legner holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and practices in Wisconsin. Her work often centers on daily struggles like workplace stress, sleep problems, and parenting strain.
Background and approach
She also helps people facing grief, relationship concerns, anger, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. Clients with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, or chronic illness may find support for coping and planning here. Narrative therapy shapes how she listens to a person’s story and highlights the meanings people give to their experiences.
She pairs that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral tools to build skills for handling distressing thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based and client-centered approaches guide a respectful, collaborative pace in sessions. With nine years of experience, she brings both clinical knowledge and practical problem solving.
That experience includes helping people with communication problems, family of origin issues, caregiving stress, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She aims to help clients find small, doable steps toward better functioning. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Legner uses Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, separating problems from identity so change feels more possible. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another frequent tool - it focuses on identifying values and taking small committed steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete behavior changes that reduce symptoms over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. Decisions about which tools to use are made collaboratively based on your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls are helpful when visual cues matter and allow a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, between-session support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving, and other obligations.
