About Angela

Angela Dailey is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in rural Montana. She combines practical problem-solving with listening and straightforward guidance. Her style is down-to-earth and focused on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and life changes.

For many years she ran services at a community mental health center and moved into independent practice in 1995. That background means she has seen a wide range of concerns and is comfortable helping with relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and mood challenges like bipolar disorder.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing parenting, career, and eating-related struggles. She uses an eclectic, whole-person approach that fits the therapy to the person. That can include talking through coping strategies, building practical routines, and addressing lifestyle factors that affect mood.

Nutrition and exercise are frequent topics in sessions when they relate to mental health. Angela also teaches college psychology and sociology, and she draws on that teaching and clinical experience in her work. She authored a book called "Cooking to Cure, A nutritional approach to anxiety and depression," which summarizes research on food, neurochemistry, and mood.

During transitions she helps people plan next steps, try manageable changes, and develop coping skills. Sessions often focus on concrete tools and checked-in progress rather than abstract theory. She welcomes direct conversation and a listening ear for people who feel overwhelmed.

Her practice supports practical changes alongside therapeutic talk, aiming to help people feel steadier and more confident as they move forward.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Angela takes an eclectic, evidence-informed approach that is adapted to each person. One focus is practical skills work - teaching routines, coping strategies, and problem-solving steps that make day-to-day life easier for people facing anxiety, ADHD, or stress. Another common element is addressing lifestyle factors such as nutrition and exercise and how they affect mood; this involves reviewing daily habits and making small, doable changes to support better emotional balance.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, try methods that match your needs, and adjust as you progress. Clients and therapist decide together what helps most, with regular check-ins to measure how things are working.

Online therapy offers a range of practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, between-session support, or when messaging fits a busy schedule. These formats provide flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and family routines.
