About Angela Dockins

She combines a calm, empathic presence with practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage intense emotions and reshape patterns that interfere with daily life. Trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), she draws on these approaches to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Her work often focuses on healing from trauma - including experiences of abandonment, neglect, sexual, physical, or emotional abuse - and on challenges such as anxiety, low self-esteem, attachment difficulties, and self-harming behaviors. Angela aims to meet clients where they are while supporting progress toward the changes they want to make. Her style is consistently described as empathetic, non-judgmental, and compassionate.

In sessions she helps clients break larger problems into realistic, manageable steps so change feels achievable. The therapeutic goal is to cultivate greater self-kindness and practical coping skills that improve quality of life.
