About Angie

Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and related concerns. She draws on years of mental health work and listens with a calm, steady style. Sessions are focused on what matters most to each person.

Angie has worked in mental healthcare since 2009 and has six years as a practicing counselor. She holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling, with an emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. That background informs how she approaches difficult life events and emotional pain.

Her day-to-day methods include cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered methods that let the person guide the pace and focus of sessions. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and closeness feel complicated.

Angie describes her manner as quiet and empathetic, but she can be direct when a firmer push helps progress. She mentions specific experience with depression, panic, agoraphobia, and trauma, and brings practical strategies alongside emotional support.

She is a veteran and notes an interest in working with other veterans. People who want clear, steady guidance and flexible tools for coping may find her approach useful. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals and pace first, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection rather than directing every step.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angie will collaborate to decide which combination fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT tools for anxious thinking, leaning on ACT for values-guided action, or using client-centered listening to set the agenda together.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not stated in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week by removing commute time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, avoid being on camera if preferred, or reduce the need to travel for an appointment. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt approaches so work can continue effectively even when meeting remotely.
