I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with over 7 years of experience helping people navigate life when it feels messy, overwhelming, or just plain stuck. I earned my Master’s in Social Work and have spent my career walking alongside individuals as they find hope, healing, and a way forward through some of life’s toughest seasons.

I work with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, sleep struggles, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have a strong background in supporting people in early recovery from substance use helping them build coping skills, stay grounded, and create real, sustainable change (not just quick fixes).

Outside of session, I practice what I preach: I focus on my own growth, stay active, and try to keep life in perspective which means I get the ups and downs that come with being human. I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I genuinely respect the courage it takes to show up. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to walk with you, challenge you when needed, and cheer you on as you build the life you deserve.

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Hello, and welcome! My name is Angela Mullins, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) serving clients throughout Kentucky. I have over five years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, evidence-based care, and a trauma-informed approach.

While my background is rooted in marriage and family therapy, I also specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and I have additional training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other evidence-based therapeutic approaches. My goal is to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs, helping them heal from the past while building the skills needed to move forward with confidence.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I believe therapy should be collaborative, and I work alongside each client to identify meaningful goals and develop practical tools for lasting change.

For clients who desire it, I am also comfortable integrating Christian faith into the counseling process. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from John Hobson Bible Training Center and enjoy supporting individuals who wish to incorporate their faith as part of their healing journey, while always respecting each client's personal beliefs and preferences.

Whether you're struggling with trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, or simply feeling stuck, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing and growth.
