Angie Dang, LCSW

Angie Dang is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She uses a practical, relational approach to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, and identity-related issues. Angie aims to create a respectful, straightforward space where people can talk through what's most pressing to them.

She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to attend to emotions, personal history, and relational patterns. Sessions tend to be collaborative and tailored to each person's needs and goals.

Angie has eight years of clinical experience working in government, agency, and non-profit settings. That background brought her work with many different people and a wide range of concerns. She emphasizes sensitivity to ethnicity, immigration, gender, and sexual orientation when these areas matter in therapy.

Her style is warm and direct. She offers active feedback and helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. The focus is on practical change - clearer thinking, better coping, and stronger connections with others and oneself.

People who choose Angie often want a therapist who listens closely and then works with them on concrete steps. She welcomes conversations about difficult emotions, grief, parenting stress, work challenges, addictive behaviors, and intimacy issues. Angie supports those ready to take steps toward a more satisfying life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Angie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

She also brings a client-centered approach that focuses on active listening and empathy. That means sessions include space to be heard and reflected back, helping people make sense of emotions and build self-compassion. Mindfulness-based ideas are also woven in to help with grounding and emotion regulation during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Angie will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors techniques over time and checks in about what is or isn’t helpful so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not desired. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and flexible ways to maintain progress between longer sessions. Together these options make scheduling easier and let people pick what fits their routine and needs.
