Angela Gardner, LCSW

Angela Gardner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings a warm, compassionate approach to therapeutic work. She holds a Master of Social Work from East Carolina University and a Bachelor of Human Development and Family Studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The LCSW credential indicates advanced clinical training in social work and the ability to provide clinical psychotherapy.

She has extensive experience working therapeutically with children, youth, adults, and families and approaches each person with a genuine spirit and commitment to support. Helping others is both a professional focus and a personal calling for her, and she seeks to make the counseling process approachable and meaningful.

Recognizing that starting therapy can feel difficult, she aims to create a nonjudgmental environment that promotes comfort and reflection. Her initial work with clients emphasizes practical steps to build the therapeutic relationship, so people can feel safer sharing feelings and experiences that may bring up sadness, anger, embarrassment, relief, or joy. Those emotional responses are understood as part of growth and healing, and she encourages clients to be themselves and to express thoughts and feelings freely.

Her practice centers on guiding clients through challenges with empathy, validation, and clinical tools tailored to each person. She expresses a genuine interest in supporting people as they work toward greater understanding, coping, and well-being.
