About Angela
Angela Alderman-Shotton is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and major life changes. She works with adults who want clearer thinking and steadier emotion. Angela aims to make appointments feel calm and useful from the first session.
Her style is collaborative and client-centered. That means she listens first, then helps clients shape goals that matter to them. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Angela also uses motivational interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change. She brings practical tools for everyday problems like communication breakdowns, parenting stress, grief, or managing bipolar symptoms. She also supports issues tied to family of origin, attachment, abandonment, and codependency.
Sessions focus on small, manageable steps clients can try between meetings. Angela has particular experience with relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and blended family stress. She uses parts of the Gottman Method to improve interaction patterns and reduce heated cycles.
Existential ideas are woven in when clients want to clarify values and life meaning. Therapy sessions are offered remotely in English to people located in Oklahoma. Angela describes the work as down-to-earth and goal-focused, aiming to help clients build resilience and clearer choices for their next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect; it gives practical exercises to test new thinking and reduce anxiety symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and tailor the plan to the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are helpful for a close conversational feel, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people balance therapy with work, parenting, and daily life.
