About Angel
LCPC and LPC in Maryland with 37 years of practice, Dr. Angel Hakim focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and life changes while using client-centered, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods.

Dr. Hakim uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She adds mindfulness practices to help with anxiety and stress, and uses solution-focused tools to set concrete goals and track small changes. These methods are used to address relationship issues, infidelity, jealousy, and concerns around non-monogamous relationships.
She also works with people facing multicultural stressors, prejudice, and discrimination. Career concerns, self-esteem, and parenting-related family stress are among topics she addresses by focusing on practical steps. Sessions can include discussion of spiritual questions outside of organized religion when that is important to the person.
Dr. Hakim draws on decades of clinical experience to help people cope with grief and major life transitions. She aims to help clients identify what’s working, try specific strategies, and notice progress between sessions. The approach is collaborative and grounded in everyday language.
Her credentials are Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking via the site.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client’s priorities. In practice this means sessions start with what the person wants to talk about and the therapist helps clarify goals and choices. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and coping with life transitions.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety. These practices are shown in-session and can be assigned as short exercises to use between meetings. Solution-focused therapy narrows attention to concrete next steps and small measurable changes, which can speed problem solving for issues like work stress, relationship conflicts, or grief-related routines.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, life context, and preferences, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made as needed so sessions reflect what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical needs and scheduling so sessions align with everyday life.
