Additional Information:
Welcome to Better Help. Thank you for sharing information about yourself. I’m so happy that you reached out for help. I am Angela Blake LCSW-C, a registered therapist. I have been in this field for 34 years. You can read more about my background, education, experience, and therapy approach by clicking on my name on this page.
Consent to Treatment:
Remember when you consented to treatment you understand this platform is not intended for crisis situations and urgent needs. In a crisis, you agree to call 988 or go to the local emergency room nearest your location.
Scheduling Tips:
Be mindful that I work part-time at Betterhelp.com. Be sure to review my calendar and schedule your first appointment as soon as possible. After each session it’s best to schedule for the following week. My schedule does fill up quickly, so please make yourself a priority.
If you need more availability for scheduling, please research other therapists on Betterhelp. It’s okay to seek a therapist that may suit your schedule. My schedule may change from week to week depending on the case load. It’s important you schedule your appointments timely.
Ideally, it’s best to schedule weekly sessions for the first 4/6 weeks. At the 4/6 week point in time we can reassess your needs and goals. Sessions are usually scheduled for 45 minutes. That’s an average time most people can focus and stay on topic. Times for sessions can be increased or decreased depending on clinical needs.
Messages are usually answered in 24 hours; however, it could be longer if it’s a day I am not scheduled for sessions, evenings or a weekend.
Treatment Goals:
You will be setting your own goals. There is a goal section on your dashboard. Please visit it prior to your first session. You will be asked to visit your goals after each session to self-monitor your progress. You may adjust your goals at any time.
Technical Tips:
Make sure you are on your laptop, desktop, cell phone or other device at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time. This way you can make sure your device is charged up and any other technical issues are worked out. If you are using a cell phone, download the Better Help App prior to your session.
Be sure to have a quite space with little to no interruptions. If you are using a cell phone, please keep it still during the session. This helps with a steady connection. You are not driving during any sessions. Being punctual on this platform is a must. If you are late, we will have to reschedule.
I am here to assist you through your journey of emotional health and wellness. I look forward to working with you.

Angela believes taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and she offers steady support throughout that process. She practices in a professional yet warm manner and encourages clients to set their own goals and track progress as therapy unfolds.
As a part-time provider on the service where she practices, Angela asks prospective clients to review her calendar and schedule their first appointment as soon as possible because her availability can fill quickly. After each session she recommends scheduling the next appointment for the following week when possible. Ideally, clients meet weekly for the first four to six weeks so needs and goals can be reassessed at that point. Sessions are typically scheduled for 45 minutes, though time may be adjusted depending on clinical need.
When consenting to treatment, clients acknowledge this platform is not intended for crisis situations or urgent needs. In a crisis, callers agree to contact 988 or go to the nearest local emergency room.
Messages to Angela are usually answered within 24 hours; response times may be longer on days she is not scheduled, during evenings, or over weekends. Clients are asked to visit the goals section on their dashboard before the first session and to revisit goals after each appointment to self-monitor and make adjustments as needed.
For the best session experience, Angela suggests joining from a laptop, desktop, or mobile device at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time to address any technical issues. If using a mobile phone, download the app beforehand and find a quiet space with minimal interruptions. Keep the device steady and do not drive during sessions. Punctuality is important; late arrivals may require rescheduling.
Angela is committed to guiding clients through their journey toward improved emotional health and wellness and looks forward to working with those who reach out for support.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes – online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
A major benefit is convenience. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that best fits their needs – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to maintain consistency and integrate therapy into a busy life.
Licensed professionals deliver these services, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online work can support focused, goal-oriented care and make regular appointments more accessible for many people seeking help.
