My name is Angela Reed and I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Manassas, VA working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, and marital issues using a holistic approach.
My approach
I believe the best approach to therapy leading to permanent change is a holistic and integrated lens to include, biological, psychological, physiological, and spiritual needs. With a multidisciplinary lens, Angela utilizes evidenced-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness. Additionally, she, utilizes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) for processing traumatic stress (PTS).
My focus
Angela works with teens and adults. She specializes in anxiety, depression, grief counseling, martial counseling, and trauma.
My communication style
My communication is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything. I listen without judgment.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in therapy. This often starts by building trust, and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we'll work together to set goals and track your progress.
My first session with you
What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of our time talking about how you ve been feeling recently, and me asking questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there. Each individual is different, and I like to listen first before assuming I know what will work best for you moving forward.
