About Angela
Angela Dailey is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience offering therapy from rural Montana. She approaches care with practical, down-to-earth guidance and a focus on everyday steps people can take to feel steadier. She draws on long experience with anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes to help people manage current problems and build coping skills.
Her background includes five years as a director of services at a community mental health center and a independent practice started in 1995.
Background and approach
Working in a rural area exposed her to a wide range of concerns, from childhood abuse and domestic violence to relationship struggles and behavior problems. That variety shaped a flexible, client-centered way of working. She also teaches college-level psychology and sociology, and she brings that classroom perspective into sessions in simple, clear terms.
Angela has a special interest in how nutrition, exercise, and social connections affect mood and stress. She wrote a book called “Cooking to Cure, A nutritional approach to anxiety and depression” that gathers research and practical meal ideas for mental health. In sessions she helps people solve problems, try lifestyle changes that support mental and physical health, and practice coping skills.
She tailors strategies to the person rather than using a single method for everyone. Many people find that addressing diet, movement, and relationships alongside talk-based work makes challenges easier to manage. Angela offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence for people facing big transitions, grief, anger, or questions about identity and purpose.
She invites straightforward conversation and practical steps that fit each person’s life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Angela describes her work as wholistic and eclectic, which means she draws on several evidence-based techniques and fits them to the person. One common approach she uses is problem-solving therapy, which breaks larger issues into small steps and teaches concrete strategies for coping with stress and decision-making. This helps with transitions, career stress, and day-to-day overwhelm.She also emphasizes lifestyle-focused interventions that connect nutrition, exercise, and social habits to mood. These practical steps may include simple meal planning, activity goals, and ways to strengthen supportive relationships to reduce anxiety and depression. Together these directions aim to improve both mental and physical wellbeing.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what’s working and what the client prefers. Clients help set goals and decide whether problem-solving, lifestyle changes, or other techniques will be the focus.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for busy days and different comfort levels. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit a short break, while chat and messaging allow quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules.
