About Angel

Dr. Angel Hakim brings a client-centered style to therapy and has worked in counseling for 37 years. She uses a listening-first approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and big life changes.

She meets people where they are and focuses on practical next steps. Her background includes medical training (MD) and licensure as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, and Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. That combination gives her a broad view of emotional and practical concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on mindfulness and solution-focused methods along with client-centered listening to shape each session. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that add up. Conversations are aimed at building self-esteem, coping skills, and ways to manage career pressures or identity-related stress.

She also addresses relationship issues such as infidelity, jealousy, and non-monogamous arrangements when those topics come up. Cultural and social factors are part of the conversation. She pays attention to multicultural concerns and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.

Parents and caregivers can expect straightforward tools for navigating family stress and balancing role demands. Therapy can include practical coaching around career decisions and life transitions. People interested in LGBT issues, grief work, or improving daily coping skills will find a mix of supportive listening and hands-on strategies.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the person's lead and focuses on understanding their experience. It helps when someone needs a non-judgmental listener and support to find their own answers.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and learning calmer ways to respond to difficult moments.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals. It works well for people who want focused progress on specific problems like relationship tensions or career decisions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying one method and adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when video isn't needed, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
