Angela Dailey

Angela Dailey is an LCSW who has practiced therapy in rural Montana for 30 years. She brings a straightforward, practical style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. Her background includes leadership in community mental health and long experience in private practice.

She worked as Director of Services for a mental health center before starting private practice in 1995. Practicing in a rural area exposed her to many kinds of concerns, from relationship problems and parenting stress to childhood abuse and domestic violence. That variety shaped a flexible, client-centered way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Angela also teaches college-level psychology and sociology, and she draws on that teaching experience in sessions. She has a special interest in nutrition and its role in mood and stress. She wrote a book called "Cooking to Cure, A nutritional approach to anxiety and depression" that looks at how food, exercise, and social connections affect mental health.

Her approach combines problem-solving with lifestyle changes. She helps people build coping skills, improve self-esteem, and address grief or trauma in manageable steps. Sessions often include practical strategies for daily life, not just talk.

She encourages people facing big changes to see them as chances to grow. Angela offers attentive listening and straightforward guidance to help clients find options, set goals, and move forward.

Evidence-informed approaches and working online

Angela describes her work as wholistic and eclectic, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical lifestyle changes. She often focuses on methods that link mood and behavior to everyday routines, such as dietary and exercise adjustments that can support emotional balance. These approaches can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with major life changes.

She also emphasizes problem-solving and skill building in sessions. This involves breaking problems into manageable steps, practicing coping strategies, and strengthening social supports. Those methods tend to help when someone needs concrete tools to manage stress or improve relationships rather than only talking about feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques that fit their situation, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools and lifestyle changes make the most sense for current needs.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and support consistent check-ins during transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and lifestyle recommendations for remote sessions so progress continues even when schedules are tight.
