Angela Montague, LCSW

Angela Montague is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, work through relationship challenges, and recover from trauma and abuse.

Her approach is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversation and treatment plans to reflect each person’s unique circumstances and goals. Angela emphasizes practical, individualized care and works collaboratively to identify steps that fit a client’s life and needs.

Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, she acknowledges and affirms that first step and supports clients through the early stages of change. Angela aims to create a steady, empathetic environment where clients can explore challenges and build toward healthier patterns over time.

Evidence-based approaches for online care

Angela Montague uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to an online format to help clients address common concerns. One common focus is skills-based coping work that teaches practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety - these techniques help people develop routines, relaxation skills, and problem-solving tools that reduce day-to-day distress.

She also applies trauma-informed methods designed to support recovery from trauma and abuse - that approach centers on safety, pacing, and building resilience so individuals can process difficult experiences at a manageable pace. For clients working on substance use or behavioral change, Angela integrates relapse prevention and motivational strategies that focus on identifying triggers, strengthening supports, and planning for sustained change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Angela collaborates with each person to determine which techniques align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging provides additional options for people who need brief check-ins or a different communication style. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
