About Angie

Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Angie writes and speaks calmly, and she balances empathy with gentle directness to help clients make changes.

She brings six years as a counselor and prior mental health work dating back to 2009. Angie holds a master’s degree in counseling and a master’s degree in psychology. Her graduate emphasis included trauma, grief, and crisis counseling, and she has substantial experience with depression, panic, agoraphobia, and trauma-related concerns.

Angie often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, alongside mindfulness-influenced techniques, to help people notice thoughts and try different behaviors. She also practices a client-centered approach, so sessions focus on each person’s priorities and pace. Her background includes work in behavior modification with children, adults, and families before becoming a counselor.

Angie is a military veteran and says she enjoys working with other veterans. She describes her style as empathetic and calm, while able to be direct when needed. Clients can expect a steady, practical presence that focuses on real-life problems and clear steps forward.

People who want to explore self-esteem, relationship strain, addiction, parenting stress, career concerns, or coping with life changes may find her approach helpful. For those managing long-term conditions like chronic pain or navigating major life transitions, Angie brings experience and a measured, supportive manner.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values and small steps that move someone toward a life they care about, which can help with low self-esteem, anxiety, and coping with change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses clear, practical exercises to test thoughts and try new responses, useful for depression, panic, and sleep difficulties.

Angie works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first and how to adjust them over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-in sessions when needed. It can also let people use video or audio options based on comfort and bandwidth. Licensed professionals, including Angie, aim to tailor sessions so they work with everyday life and real-world demands.
