About Angela

Angela Schuckhardt is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York who supports people working through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related life changes.

Background and approach

She brings 11 years of clinical experience to helping clients address self-esteem, parenting and caregiver stress, ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, compassion fatigue, and a broad range of attachment and family-of-origin difficulties. Her work also addresses LGBTQ concerns, blended-family dynamics, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence and substance use challenges.

Her style blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods that honor each person’s story and agency. Angela emphasizes developing self-compassion, clearer communication, and practical coping skills while exploring how past experiences shape present patterns.

She draws on Internal Family Systems alongside emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based practices and motivational interviewing to help clients cultivate resilience and engage change in everyday life. Sessions are offered remotely in English from her New York licensure, and she guides clients through goal-setting and tailored strategies rather than promising specific outcomes.

Angela frames therapy as a collaborative process that attends to both immediate concerns and longer-term healing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Internal Family Systems helps clients notice and relate to different parts of themselves rather than being overwhelmed by a single emotion; it can be useful for trauma, self-criticism, and patterns that feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the client’s own capacity for growth, making it a good fit for people seeking validation and support while exploring personal goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can help with intimacy, attachment issues, and communication challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate elements from different approaches to address immediate concerns and longer-term change.

Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and ongoing work between sessions. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency during life transitions, manage time constraints, and access licensed professionals from a distance while tailoring the pace and format to individual comfort and needs.
