I show up as a real person in the room, meeting clients with respect, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping them feel understood.
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with a background in outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatric care, and residential treatment, supporting both adolescents and adults. Most of my work centers on helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and major life changes. My focus is providing a grounded, reliable space where clients can slow down, regain stability, and move forward with clarity and self‑trust.
I use trauma‑informed, strengths‑based methods to help clients understand their experiences and develop tools for healing. You can expect a supportive, steady space where we focus on clarity, emotional regulation, and sustainable progress.
You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe to grow. When you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Having navigated loss and major life transitions myself, I know you don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward, find clarity, recognize patterns, learn to trust yourself, or begin making confident decisions that enhance your life.
I’m Angie Munsey, an LPC-Associate with counseling experience in private practice, middle school, and high school settings. I work with individuals 11 and older, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions, burnout, caregiver fatigue, and relationship challenges. I also help clients identify and work through people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overcontrol. My clients seek to understand recurring patterns, communicate more clearly, build stronger boundaries, and make confident decisions that reflect their values and strengthen their relationships.
My style is warm, direct, curious, and collaborative, with room for humor. I integrate CBT, ACT, and SolutionFocused Therapy with art and play therapy techniques. Together, we’ll explore patterns, consider new perspectives, and practice skills to help you respond intentionally and make changes that reflect your values.
You don’t have to do it alone, and you don’t have to have it all planned out. I’ll meet you where you’re at. Together we’ll decide what happens next. If you’re scared, that’s okay. Doubtful? That’s okay too. Do it scared. Do it doubtful. Schedule the appointment. All you have to do is start.

I understand that life can sometimes take us through difficult and unexpected seasons. My own life experiences have taught me the value of resilience, personal growth, and having someone who truly listens. I believe we all have the ability to grow, make meaningful changes, and find a new path forward, sometimes we just need a little support along the way.
I am a counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling and a passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s challenges and discover their own strengths. My experience includes working with children and teens in school and community-based settings, supporting individuals facing anxiety, stress, family changes, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or uncertain about their future. I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
Building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients is at the heart of my approach. I take time to establish genuine rapport so clients feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves. Through a warm, person-centered approach, I help clients understand their emotions, recognize their strengths, and make meaningful changes at their own pace.
You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. Where you are today does not determine where you can go tomorrow. With support, encouragement, and the right tools, you can write a better story for yourself. When you are ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take that next step toward healing and growth.

My preferred method in family therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I find CBT effective because it aids families in understanding that not all thoughts about each other are accurate or beneficial, encouraging a more constructive thought process.
In CBT, I teach several key tools:
Meaningful progress in family therapy is noted when the family adopts a more helpful and accurate thought process, which significantly enhances family relationships. This shift indicates a successful application of CBT principles.
Clients can enhance their therapy experience by practicing the skills learned during sessions. Practice is a crucial component of CBT, reinforcing new, healthier thought and behavior patterns.
To prepare for their first family therapy session, an individual can write down any questions they might have, come up with a list of specific and time sensitive (both long and short term) goals, and plan on having at least 3 sessions to make sure you and the counselor are a good fit.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Fort Worth, TX usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Fort Worth, TX offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
At Thriveworks Counseling in Fort Worth, TX, our licensed marriage and family therapists are readily available to offer their support and guidance. If you’re interested in repairing your family system, consider working with one of our family therapists.

Family therapy is a specific form of treatment aimed at helping families address particular issues that are hurting the overall well-being and functionality of a family. When you begin working with a family therapist at Thriveworks Counseling in Fort Worth, TX, your family therapist will look at the problems at hand in terms of the larger family unit.
In some cases, this might involve individual issues, such as behavioral problems or mental illnesses, and identifying how it affects the family as a whole.
Additionally, your family therapist will most likely utilize a variety of techniques to help you, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, narrative therapy, and traditional talk therapy.
