About Angela
Angela Dockins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage overwhelming emotions and the behaviors that follow. Her style is warm, nonjudgmental, and compassionate, and she aims to help people move toward practical change in everyday life.
She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and relationship and intimacy issues.
Background and approach
Angela also addresses grief, sleep problems, bipolar-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include abandonment and attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, domestic violence, and issues tied to gender and identity. In sessions she uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and test new ways of responding.
She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and build meaningful action. Angela uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate, as part of trauma-focused work. Her approach is collaborative: she helps people identify what matters to them, then breaks larger goals into small, realistic steps.
She emphasizes kindness toward oneself while working toward change. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress and build skills people can use between meetings. Therapy is offered in several online formats so people can pick what fits their schedule and needs.

Online support
How Angela uses therapy approaches online
Angela draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and practical homework to break patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or impulsive behaviors.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT techniques can help when strong emotions lead to actions people later regret, or when emotional overwhelm makes daily life harder.
EMDR is offered as part of trauma-focused work to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life. When EMDR fits a client's needs, Angela integrates it with other approaches and explains each step before proceeding.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then try techniques together and adjust as needed. Clients and therapist decide what to keep or change based on how the work is going.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins or flexible communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
