Angela Dailey, LCSW
About me
I have been providing therapy in rural Montana for 30 years. I was Director of Services for a Mental Health Center for 5 years before going into private practice in 1995. Practicing in a rural area is a lot like being a country "doc", you treat "everything that walks in the door". This has given me a wide range of experience with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, childhood abuse, domestic violence, behavior problems, and life transitions. I have a wholistic, eclectic approach fitting the therapy to the client rather than fitting the client to the therapy.
In addition to a private practice, I also teach college Psychology and Sociology. I love these subjects and love teaching. I bring my knowledge and experience to the therapeutic relationship.
I have a special interest in nutrition and its effect on mental health. To put the research together in one place I authored the book, “Cooking to Cure, A nutritional approach to anxiety and depression”. “Cooking to Cure” focuses on balancing neurochemistry through nutrition and meal preparation. Nutrition, exercise, and positive social relationships have a profound effect on mental health and our ability to deal with stress.
Difficult life transitions can be an opportunity for personal growth. Dealing with change effectively can leave you feeling stronger and more confident. I can help with problem-solving and improving overall mental and physical health through healthy lifestyle changes. I look forward to helping you develop coping skills that will help you through this transition as well as others you will experience in the future.
Life can be overwhelming. Sometimes we need help finding our way. This can be by identifying and implementing options. Sometimes we just need someone to listen to us without judgment. Let's talk.

Having worked with Angela for years, she is a considerate, even keeled, and knowledgeable counsellor that really listens, and offers sound guidance - both in the small everyday techniques, and in the really big things. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

It has been such a pleasure working with Angela through my multidimensional issues. She is absolutely amazing. I look forward to talking with Angela for years to come and I am so grateful for her guiding hand. I couldn't have landed with a better therapist. Thank you Angela! And thank you Better Help for connecting me with her! It has been a wild ride.

Angela is immensely helpful. She is not only experienced, but also kind, understanding but with a realistic approach to any and all issues presented to her. She has helped me through the toughest times in my life and expertly given me new perspectives and coping mechanisms to help me overcome my issues.

There are some sessions where I don’t even know what I will talk about. But she manages to bring out the tangled mess in my mind and helps to untangle it all and I feel so safe and comfortable with her. To address and do my shadow work, I couldn’t be in better hands.
