About Angela
Angela Bellinghausen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Colorado. She brings three decades of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, grief, sleep problems, and addiction concerns. Angela aims to help people build coping skills, manage panic and social anxiety, and regain a sense of balance in everyday life.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. Conversations are practical and paced to each person's needs.
Background and approach
She uses evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-based strategies, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Angela blends approaches rather than following a single template. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered therapy to shape treatment around each person’s goals.
Sessions can include skill practice, values work, and exercises to reduce unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also addresses relationship concerns, communication problems, body image, eating-related issues, and life transitions. Angela pays attention to guilt, shame, loneliness, and purpose as they come up in treatment and helps people develop daily routines that support mood and sleep.
Thirty years of work in the field inform her practical, strengths-focused perspective. People who choose her work with a clinician who emphasizes healing and personal growth over labels, and who collaborates with them to find the best path forward.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in that direction. It focuses on values, mindful awareness, and learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts rather than fighting them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can be helpful for strong mood swings and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to reduce. Sessions may emphasize skill-building, values work, or supportive listening depending on what the person finds most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice skills in real time, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for shorter check-ins, coping reminders, or when it helps to write thoughts out between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines.
