Angela Dailey , LCSW

Angela Dailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has provided therapy across rural Montana for 30 years. She served as Director of Services for a Mental Health Center for five years before launching a private practice in 1995, and that breadth of experience has shaped a practical, wide-ranging approach to care.

Practicing in a rural setting taught her to address a broad spectrum of concerns - from depression and anxiety to relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, childhood abuse, domestic violence, behavior problems, and major life transitions. She describes her style as wholistic and eclectic, adapting evidence-based techniques to fit each client rather than asking clients to fit a single method.

In addition to clinical work, she teaches college-level Psychology and Sociology, bringing academic knowledge and classroom experience into the therapeutic relationship. Angela has a particular interest in the role of nutrition in mental health and authored the book "Cooking to Cure, A nutritional approach to anxiety and depression," which explores how meal preparation and diet can influence neurochemistry, mood, and stress resilience.

She focuses on problem-solving, healthy lifestyle changes, and developing coping skills to help clients navigate transitions and build long-term well-being. Her schedule can change frequently, so prospective clients are encouraged to inquire about available times that may not appear on posted listings.

Integrated therapeutic approaches for online care

Angela Dailey applies a wholistic, eclectic approach that blends multiple evidence-based techniques to meet each client's needs. One focus is a nutrition-informed approach - exploring how dietary choices and meal preparation can support mood regulation and overall mental wellness, which can be helpful for clients dealing with anxiety or depression.

She also emphasizes practical problem-solving and coping skills training, helping clients develop strategies to manage stress, navigate life transitions, and improve day-to-day functioning. These techniques are adaptable for issues such as relationship difficulties, grief, or changes in work and family roles.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Angela works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Through conversation and assessment she adjusts interventions over time to improve fit and outcomes.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in scheduling and access - sessions may take place via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options helps clients engage in therapy from their own communities and routines while maintaining continuity of care with a trusted therapist.
