Angela Hastings

Angela Hastings is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, interactive style and often works like a mentor or coach while clients set the pace and goals of sessions.

She has supported people through crisis intervention, difficult life transitions, and long-term anxiety and depression. Angela also focuses on concerns such as body image, self-harm, eating and food-related issues, and crisis of faith. Anger is one of the areas she addresses alongside relationship and family concerns.

Her approach is grounded in client-centered therapy, which means she starts from each person's priorities and works at their pace. She blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused methods, and motivational interviewing when those tools fit the situation.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Angela aims to build a positive working relationship and offers steady, nonjudgmental support while helping clients try new skills. She emphasizes compassion and realistic steps that people can use between meetings.

Reaching out can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions based on availability. Angela looks forward to learning about each person’s goals and supporting their next steps.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following a person’s lead. The therapist creates space for clients to name goals and choose how fast to move, which is useful when coping with life changes, grief, or stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity, intense anger, or overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angela will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice is revisited over time as goals change.

Check which session options are currently offered before booking so arrangements fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and how sessions can be structured to support daily life.
