About Angela

Angela Bellinghausen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Colorado. She offers support for concerns such as low self esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, sleep problems, addictions, trauma, and relationship strain. Angela emphasizes practical steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier day to day.

She draws on about 30 years of experience and blends several approaches to meet each person's needs. Sessions focus on building coping skills, increasing self-compassion, and reducing worry or panic. Mindfulness exercises and skill practice are often part of the work to help people manage difficult emotions in the moment.

Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the pace and focus so the person sets the goals and direction.

Her style is collaborative and strength-based. She aims to help people feel more empowered and connected to their life purpose. Angela encourages practical self-care, clearer communication, and small habit changes that add up over time.

Clients with concerns about eating, body image, isolation, aging issues, women's health, panic attacks, seasonal mood changes, forgiveness, or self-love can bring those topics into sessions. She invites people to try approaches that resonate and adjust them as progress unfolds.

How Angela’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based actions. It is useful for low self esteem, life changes, and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleeping problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication during heated moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Angela works with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made if something does not feel helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove the need to travel. For some people, phone check-ins require less bandwidth and feel simpler; for others, video sessions allow for more interaction and shared exercises. Angela uses practical tools and skill practice that adapt well to remote work, and she will discuss which format will best support each person's goals.
