Angela Thompson, LCSW, LICSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Angela!

I work with adults, specializing in anxiety, stress, and depression. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients make progress and feel better.

My focus

My style is a good fit for young adults dealing with life transitions and social pressures. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, and stress during these periods, building skills to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.

My approach

My approach varies based on your needs. I use solution-focused, strength-based therapy that focuses on mindfulness and realistic coping mechanisms for individualized, evidence-based treatment.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and down-to-earth. I want you to feel comfortable talking with me about anything. I pride myself on my ability to listen to understand and not judge.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because of my passion for helping others. Mental health is an act of self-love, and I'm grateful to assist others with their self-love journey.

My goals for you

We'll work together to define what you want to accomplish. I'll provide a warm, non-judgmental environment where we can explore issues preventing you from living your best life. Over time, we'll set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

The first session is about building connection and getting a sense of where we should go. I use collaborative approaches, assign homework to support growth between sessions, teach ways to challenge negative thoughts, model coping strategies, and explore how past experiences impact your present-day life.
