About Angela
Angela Whitecrane Widdicombe is a licensed therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. She brings a calm presence and aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for worried parents and adults. With 30 years of experience she focuses on building a safe connection and listening carefully to each person's story.
She has worked in clinical settings with foster children, Veterans, and addiction clinics.
Background and approach
That background gives her experience with poverty, trauma, violence, and substance use. Angela uses what she learned in those roles to guide people through hard life changes and compassion fatigue. In session she emphasizes relationship and connection.
Angela listens first and asks clear questions to help people notice patterns that cause distress. She helps clients set small, doable goals and practice new ways of coping between visits. Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas.
That means she mixes practical skills, attention to feelings, and work on close relationships to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. Angela holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) credentials and practices in Montana. She offers a straightforward, compassionate style and partners with people to find what helps them feel steadier.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people create more supported ways of relating and communicating.Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan based on what helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is not desirable. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage energy levels, and keep continuity during transitions.
