About Angelina

Angelina Monell offers care for people seeking help with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains, family tensions, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

With a focus on practical coping and emotional clarity, she works with clients who want to make sense of difficult changes and cultivate greater resilience and purpose in daily life. With 13 years of clinical experience, Angelina blends evidence-informed methods to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

She uses client-centered conversations to build trust, cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and mindfulness techniques to strengthen present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her work when exploring motivation and deeper relational patterns.

Angelina holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and maintains licensure in New York and Illinois with NY LMHC 007723 and IL LCPC 180017938. She provides services in English and accepts international clients, offering a range of online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches That Inform Online Care

Angelina draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and workplace or relationship difficulties. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which often helps with grief, social anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process; the therapist partners with each client to determine which combination of strategies best matches goals, symptom patterns, and personal preferences. That flexible, client-centered stance allows techniques to be adapted over time as challenges evolve and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and access across locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are difficult, while still allowing for therapeutic progress through structured interventions and ongoing support from a licensed professional.
