About Angela Knight

Angela Knight is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 29 years of professional experience. She works with people of various ages to address stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, meeting each person where they are and building on existing strengths.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, recognizing that each person is the expert in their own story and that healing often begins with small, courageous steps. Angela supports clients by teaching practical skills and reinforcing what already works for them, blending evidence-informed methods to suit individual needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Angela Knight integrates several practical approaches to help clients manage symptoms and build stronger relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive strategies - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients explore and reshape emotional responses within close relationships, which can improve connection and repair attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context and then tailors strategies from these approaches so they fit the client’s needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily responsibilities. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location.
