Angela Hicks, LCSW

Angela Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with seven years of professional experience. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work and has focused training in diagnostic assessment and psychotherapy. Since beginning practice in 2018, she has provided care in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has supported a variety of populations.

Her therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual - she integrates a multicultural perspective with an eclectic set of methods to meet clients where they are. Angela works with adults ages 18 to 65 on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation, and mood disorders. She also addresses areas like abandonment, codependency, communication and control issues, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife transitions, panic attacks, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love.

In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and goals can be developed collaboratively. She emphasizes practical coping skills and personal empowerment, supporting clients as they take the courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Angela Hicks

Angela Hicks draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and perspectives - the therapist listens closely and supports self-directed growth, which can be helpful for improving self-esteem, motivation, and relationship dynamics. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic by changing unhelpful thinking patterns. DBT teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be beneficial for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and mood instability.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Angela Hicks works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and adjusts plans as progress is made, partnering with clients to build skills and resilience.

Online therapy with Angela offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need for extended travel.
