About Angie
Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and codependency concerns. She writes and talks in a calm, direct way and aims to make therapy understandable. Clients can expect straightforward support that balances kindness with clear guidance.
Angie has a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling. Her graduate work emphasized trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. She has worked in mental health since 2009 and has six years as a practicing counselor, bringing experience with panic, agoraphobia, and mood challenges.
In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions. She also uses client-centered methods that keep each person’s goals and values at the center of the work. Attachment-focused ideas appear in her thinking when exploring how relationships shape present difficulties.
Her manner combines a quiet, empathetic tone with firm, practical direction when needed. Angie notes a particular comfort with veterans, and earlier work included behavior modification with children and adults. She focuses on listening first and then setting clear, manageable steps.
People who want plain language and practical tools often find her style useful. She aims to help individuals build routines, improve communication, manage intense emotions, and make changes that fit everyday life.
How Angie’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and commit to small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on meaningful action rather than getting stuck on difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, often through short exercises and behavioral experiments. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape emotions and reactions, which can help with intimacy, trust, and communication struggles.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Angie listens to each person's history, goals, and day-to-day challenges and then suggests methods to try. Over a few sessions she reviews what is helping and adjusts the plan so the work fits the person's needs and pace.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy schedules and daily routines. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to remote sessions so progress can be practical and goal-focused even when meeting digitally.
