About Angela
Angela Schumacher is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience supporting people through relationship strain, trauma, parenting challenges, and LGBT concerns. She creates a calm space for people to talk about painful feelings without judgment. Angela encourages small steps and practical changes that help clients feel steadier day to day.
Angela uses approaches that focus on emotions and relationships. She leans on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change patterns in close connections.
Background and approach
Attachment-Based Therapy informs her way of looking at how early bonds shape reactions now. Her style is client-centered. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, reflection, and gentle feedback rather than technical jargon. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions when needed. Those tools are mixed in where they fit the goals a person brings to therapy.
Angela holds both a LICSW and an LCSW and is licensed in West Virginia and Alaska. She helps people who are ready to work through issues like guilt, isolation, panic attacks, or ongoing stress from caregiving. The focus in sessions is on practical ways to feel more connected and less overwhelmed.

Online support
How emotion-focused and attachment work online
Angela uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify core emotions and change negative interaction patterns. EFT often looks at how feelings shape the way we relate and can be useful for people who want clearer emotional connection and less reactivity.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which examines how early caregiving experiences influence present responses. This approach helps people notice longstanding ways of coping and try new, healthier ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Angela works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Conversations in early sessions guide whether more emotion-focused work, attachment exploration, or practical CBT and DBT skills will be most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a face-to-face style that suits deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter, frequent check-ins possible between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily life.
