About Angie
Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and ADHD. She writes simply and listens closely, aiming to make sessions calm and focused for someone juggling parenting, work, or life changes. She completed a master’s degree in counseling and a master’s in psychology, with an emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling.
Angie has worked in the mental health field since 2009 and has six years as a practicing counselor, bringing both hands-on experience and clinical training to sessions.
Background and approach
Her approach blends clear thinking with a gentle presence. Angie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people clarify values and build workable routines.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations, practical tools, and small steps that fit daily life. Angie’s tone is calm and empathetic; she can be direct when someone needs motivation without being pushy. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful rather than full of jargon.
She has experience supporting people with trauma, panic and agoraphobia, addiction, relationship strains, parenting stress, chronic illness, and caregiver burdens. Angie also enjoys connecting with fellow veterans and people navigating major life transitions. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change, how to manage symptoms day to day, and building strategies that last.
The work is collaborative and paced to each individual’s needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change those patterns for issues like panic, insomnia, or mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work and the therapist follows the client’s pace.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques over time to find what fits. Together you’ll check what’s helping, adjust the plan, and pick tools that match daily life and personal preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, coaching, or arranging next steps between longer sessions. These options help people balance therapy with work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
