About Angelamaria
Angelamaria Riedi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, and other stressors. She aims to make first steps simple - listening, asking questions, and helping clients name what feels hard right now.
She brings six years of clinical experience working with people across the lifespan, from adolescents to older adults. That background includes work with aging-related concerns and caregiving stress, plus experience supporting people with trauma and crisis.
Background and approach
She is LGBTQ+ friendly and has worked with people from varied cultural backgrounds. Sessions tend to be nonjudgmental and practical. She emphasizes a strengths-based stance that helps people identify what they already do well.
From there she and the client plan small, workable changes that fit daily life and personal goals. Her approach adapts to the person in front of her rather than following one rigid method. That can mean focusing on emotional coping skills, managing cravings or relapse risk, addressing relationship or intimacy issues, or helping someone rebuild after loss.
Expect clear conversation, gentle challenge, and concrete next steps. Angelamaria values collaboration and steady progress. She encourages people to set the pace and brings steady support for navigating anxiety, career stress, family problems, and the swirl of life transitions.
If someone is ready to try therapy, she guides them through scheduling and what to expect in early sessions.
Practical approaches for online care
Angelamaria uses evidence-based techniques tailored to the person in front of her. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and emotional regulation so people can better manage anxiety, mood swings, and stress in daily life. Another approach centers on strengths-based work that identifies what’s already working and uses those abilities to guide change and recovery from substance use or relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is reviewed regularly and techniques are adjusted if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more depth is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coping reminders, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into work, school, or caregiving schedules while maintaining continuity of support.
