More about Angela

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

My name is Angie Novak and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have 15 years of experience working with clients of all ages in several different settings and backgrounds.

For human beings of all ages, mental and emotional well-being are crucial to building healthy relationships with self, family, friends, and peers. Often we experience events in our lives that challenge our ability to cope, especially when it appears overwhelming to handle.

As a therapist, my job is to listen and meet you where you are; thereby creating a healthy, safe, therapeutic relationship. In building our relationship, we will work together to devise a plan for healing and developing personal strength. Through the therapeutic process, you can learn to grow emotionally and move forward with strength as you work to build a life of your choosing. Self awareness, personal insight and a renewed sense of direction are all possibilities through therapy. Think of therapy as a reset button that allows you to pause, reframe, so you can move forward.

I am skilled with utilizing different therapeutic processing modalities all based in a flexible approach.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
