Angela Dailey , LCSW

Angela Dailey has provided therapy in rural Montana for 30 years. She served as Director of Services for a Mental Health Center for five years before beginning private practice in 1995. As an LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she brings extensive experience working with a wide range of concerns in a rural setting where practitioners often address diverse needs.

Her clinical work covers depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem challenges, childhood abuse, domestic violence, behavior problems, and transitions through life changes. She uses a wholistic, eclectic approach that fits the therapy to the individual rather than fitting the person to a single method, adapting techniques to meet each person where they are.

In addition to private practice, she teaches college courses in Psychology and Sociology and integrates that academic knowledge and teaching experience into her therapeutic work. She also has a special interest in nutrition and mental health and authored the book Cooking to Cure, A nutritional approach to anxiety and depression, which focuses on balancing neurochemistry through nutrition and meal preparation.

Angela emphasizes how nutrition, movement, and positive social relationships influence mental wellbeing and how problem-solving and lifestyle changes can support healthier coping. She works collaboratively with clients to develop practical coping skills for current transitions and future challenges. Her schedule can change frequently, so she welcomes inquiries about available appointment times that may not appear on the posted calendar.

She emphasizes client-centered work that adapts techniques to the individual, helping people explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and develop practical coping skills that address depression, anxiety, and life transitions.

She also brings a nutrition-focused perspective informed by her book Cooking to Cure, A nutritional approach to anxiety and depression. This approach looks at how dietary choices and meal preparation can support mood and energy and complements therapeutic strategies for stress and mood management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angela collaborates with clients to identify goals, try suitable methods, and adjust plans based on progress and preferences so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and access, especially for those living in rural areas or with busy lives. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support while fitting therapy into daily routines.
