Angie holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling, with emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling.
Background and approach
That background shapes how she notices patterns and responds to urgent concerns. In sessions she blends practical skills and steady listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
She also draws on mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice emotions without getting overwhelmed. Angie describes her style as quiet and empathetic, while also willing to be direct when a change in approach is needed. She has experience supporting people with panic, agoraphobia, addictions, bipolar challenges, and sleep difficulties among other concerns.
Her work includes attention to relationships, parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and trauma-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and are provided from Idaho. Angie values straightforward communication and helps clients set small, achievable goals.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Angie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. ACT encourages noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with avoidance and prolonged worry.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angie talks with each person about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter, more frequent contact helps keep momentum.
