Angela Paul , LCSW, CSW

Angela Paul is a Colorado-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who also holds a CSW, with three years of clinical experience and a Master’s degree in Social Work. She has focused her career on supporting adults through mental health challenges, substance use concerns, trauma, and major life transitions, offering steady guidance for people seeking practical change and emotional relief.

Angela has worked with adults from a variety of backgrounds, including those in rural and underserved communities. Much of her clinical work addresses alcohol use and behavioral addictions such as gambling, problematic social media use, and pornography, alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress related to perimenopause and menopause. She also supports people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or who rely on substances or behaviors to cope with emotional pain.

Her approach is laid-back, compassionate, and collaborative, with a person-centered focus that places each client’s goals and values at the center of care. She draws from evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, and uses a harm reduction model that allows clients to explore change at their own pace, whether that means moderation or abstinence.

Angela aims to create a judgment-free space where people can build new coping skills, reconnect with strengths, and move toward recovery and wellness in ways that feel meaningful to them.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to support clients who are ambivalent about change; it centers the client's own motivations and helps build readiness for steps toward recovery or healthier habits. Solution-Focused Therapy is employed to highlight strengths and small, achievable goals so clients can build momentum and notice progress quickly.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy stays aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and they allow therapy to continue even when in-person visits are not possible.
