Angella Catlin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical practice and a total of 16 years in social work. She offers flexible appointments including early mornings through lunch to fit therapy into busy days. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, and women's issues among other concerns.

She aims to help people cope with difficult feelings and life changes. Sessions often center on building motivation, increasing confidence, and finding practical steps forward. Angella works to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through openly.

Her approach draws from several practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try small changes. She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to understand relationships and emotional needs. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when people need concrete tools to manage intense emotions.

Angella has experience providing both group and individual services and has a particular interest in early intervention and prevention. She supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, first responder issues, postpartum depression, grief, and compassion fatigue. Her practice aims to meet people where they are and work at a pace that fits their life.

Based in Idaho and licensed in Utah as well, Angella conducts sessions in English. She encourages small steps toward change and helps clients identify realistic goals that fit their schedules.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions can be used to talk through relationship patterns and practice new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and creating a respectful space where the client leads the conversation, which fits naturally into video or phone sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them; it often uses short exercises and homework that transfer easily to online formats.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. Adjustments can be made over time based on what works.

Online therapy here is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are good for shorter check-ins or writing out thoughts. These options help people fit therapy into commutes, lunch breaks, or varied schedules while keeping sessions practical and goal oriented.
