About Angela

Angela Knight, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), is licensed in California and has 29 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, and other life challenges using the approaches she describes: CBT, DBT, EFT, attachment-informed work, and client-centered methods. She explains that clients are the experts on their stories and that therapy builds on existing strengths while teaching new skills.

Angela frames therapy as a process of learning practical skills. She names cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, and emotionally focused techniques as core methods she uses. She also draws on attachment ideas and a client-centered stance to guide conversations and goal setting.

Sessions are described as skill-focused and strengths-based. Clients can expect to practice new ways of coping and to discuss how to apply those skills in daily life. Angela mentions mindfulness-based stress reduction strategies as part of her toolkit for handling anxiety and stress.

Her work covers many specific concerns such as intimacy-related issues, parenting, eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career-related stress. She also notes additional focus areas including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging issues, attachment concerns, autism spectrum considerations, blended family dynamics, and chronic illness or pain.

Angela speaks English and practices in California. Her approach emphasizes collaboration: she helps clients set goals, teaches techniques, and builds on strengths to manage symptoms and life transitions.

How her therapeutic methods work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds shape expectations and emotional responses, and it can help with intimacy issues and attachment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management through practical exercises and homework.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for regulating emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, anger, or self-destructive behavior.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works for the client. Clients help define priorities and give feedback as skills are introduced and practiced.

Confirm current session options before booking. The site instructions guide you to a matching questionnaire and scheduling steps to arrange a first session. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can happen around work or caregiving commitments.
