Angela Slocum

Angela Slocum is a licensed social worker practicing in Michigan. She holds the LMSW credential and brings ten years of counseling experience alongside more than twenty years in social work. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and coping with life changes, including feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She aims to make sessions feel like a calm space where people can talk without judgment. The therapist encourages small, manageable steps toward change and supports clients as they try out new ways of handling problems.

In sessions Angela listens closely and helps people identify what matters most to them. She uses practical, goal-focused methods to build on strengths and find workable solutions. Conversations often include setting clear steps to try between meetings.

Angela has worked across a range of concerns related to aging, caregiving, blended family issues, chronic illness and pain, workplace stress, money worries, and end-of-life topics. That background informs how she teams up with people to address the challenges they bring.

Her style is collaborative and grounded. She respects each person's pace and focuses on what will help them move forward. If you want steady, supportive guidance while navigating change, she aims to offer that steady support.

Approaches used in online sessions and what to expect

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own goals and choices. It emphasizes listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you name what matters most so you can move toward it. This approach can help with depression, anxiety, and feeling disconnected.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying what you want to change and resolving mixed feelings about that change. It uses open questions and gentle feedback to boost motivation for action and is useful for goals like shifting habits or managing life transitions.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and small experiments that can make a difference quickly. Sessions often identify one or two concrete actions to try between appointments so progress is visible and manageable.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasize. That collaboration helps shape a plan you can try out and adjust as needed.

For practical matters, confirm which session formats are available before you book since the biography does not list them. Online work can save travel time, make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, and support shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and how to structure sessions so they fit your routine.
