Angel Johnson

Angel Johnson pursued roles that would challenge her and has carried that drive into a diverse clinical career. She has served as a Clinical Therapist at a residential treatment facility for at-risk adolescents since Fall 2022, and prior to that spent ten years working as a School Social Worker in Illinois. With 16 years of experience, she is a licensed clinical social worker in both Indiana and Illinois.

Before the COVID crisis, Angel worked as a subcontractor providing home-based therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. Her time in school settings shaped her skills as a crisis interventionist, a change agent, and a community liaison. Clinical practice further strengthened her case-management abilities, allowed her to draw on a range of therapeutic interventions, and reinforced her commitment to individualizing treatment for each person she serves.

The clients Angel has worked with have faced a wide range of challenges, including abandonment, neglect, abuse and trauma, depression and anxiety, undiagnosed mental health disorders, domestic violence, and substance abuse. She emphasizes the importance of building rapport, setting clear boundaries, and developing a strong therapeutic alliance. Known for attentive listening and genuine empathy, Angel approaches her work with a deep sense of purpose and dedication.

Angel describes social work as her calling and does not take the responsibility to help others for granted. She is enthusiastic about partnering with clients on their journey toward healing and growth, and she believes that remote treatment will continue to transform access to mental health care.
