Angela Martin , LISW

Angela Martin is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio with 23 years of professional experience. She specializes in supporting people who are coping with stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and depression, offering steady guidance through difficult life transitions.

Angela creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly. She works collaboratively with each person to tailor goals and strategies, combining emotional processing with practical coping skills to address concerns such as abandonment, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, financial stress, narcissistic dynamics, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-worth, social anxiety, women’s issues, and workplace difficulties.

Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, Angela affirms the strength of those who reach out and partners with them to build resilience and greater clarity. Her practice in Ohio emphasizes attentive listening, individualized care, and an ongoing partnership to help clients move toward the changes they want in their lives.

Evidence-Based Support and Flexible Online Care

Angela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One approach emphasizes skills-based work to reduce stress and manage anxiety - it teaches tools for breathing, grounding, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns so daily functioning and calm can improve. Another approach centers on grief-focused and supportive strategies, helping people process loss, acknowledge complex feelings, and find adaptive ways to remember and move forward. A third emphasis is on communication and relationship work, offering clear, teachable methods to repair interactions, set boundaries, and improve connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Angela partners collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She helps clients try methods, reflect on what works, and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for different schedules and life situations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and integrate therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their methods to each client's circumstances.
