My name is Angela Carlson and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 4 years of professional work experience. I received my Master’s from Lesley University in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in expressive arts therapy. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings doing case management, crisis intervention, psychiatric day treatment, and therapy for individuals, groups, and families. I am experienced in providing services to people struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance abuse and addiction, dual-diagnoses, trauma and stressor related disorders, obsessive compulsive traits, borderline personality traits, eating disorders, and other mental health symptoms.
I use a person-centered, holistic-integrative approach to psychotherapy and practice elements of various treatment styles, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Expressive Arts Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-focused therapy, Jungian Psychotherapy, Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other skills-based methods. I place emphasis on providing treatment that is trauma-informed, culturally competent and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I am a strong advocate for antiracist systemic change and destigmatizing mental illness.
I believe in fostering therapeutic relationships that are empathic, nonjudgmental, and attuned to the needs of the client in the present moment. I do my best to honor the courage and resiliency it takes for people to show up for themselves and aim to support them embrace suffering bravely in search of their truth.

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.
