About Angelamaria
Angelamaria Riedi is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and challenges with relationships or substance use. She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what feels overwhelming.
She is LGBTQ+ friendly and meets people from many cultural backgrounds in English. She has worked with people across the lifespan, including seniors, and has particular experience addressing concerns that come with aging.
Background and approach
Angelamaria combines practical problem solving with attention to personal strengths. She helps people notice what already works for them and build on those skills to manage mood, cope with trauma, and handle life transitions. Her approach is collaborative and flexible.
Angelamaria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts methods to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings, along with exploring patterns that keep problems stuck. People often come for help with addiction, bipolar disorder, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career challenges, or compassion fatigue.
She also supports those coping with chronic illness, attachment concerns, dissociation, or the aftermath of domestic violence and other trauma. Angelamaria works via video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin she asks a few questions to match goals and then schedules sessions according to availability.

Approaches that guide online care
Angelamaria often relies on evidence-based techniques that focus on strengths and practical skill building. One common thread is a strengths-based approach that helps people identify what they already do well and use those abilities to manage anger, stress, or mood changes. This approach emphasizes small, doable steps you can try between sessions to see real change.She also uses trauma-informed methods to help people who have experienced abuse, domestic violence, or other traumatic events. These methods focus on safety, pacing, and slowly building coping skills so difficult memories can be addressed without becoming overwhelming. For issues tied to substance use or co-occurring conditions, she integrates problem-solving and relapse-prevention strategies that help with day-to-day triggers.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she will adjust methods over time based on feedback and progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or chat can be handy for quick check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
