Angie Hanson, LPC

Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Her style balances gentle listening with practical steps to move forward.

Angie has been working in mental health since 2009 and has six years as a practicing counselor. She holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling, with an emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. That background shapes how she approaches difficult situations.

In sessions she uses clear, down-to-earth methods. Cognitive behavioral techniques are a common tool she uses to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness-based practices to help people manage stress and strong emotions.

Her work is client-centered, which means she listens first and tailors the pace and focus to each person. Angie describes her voice as calm and empathetic, and she can also be direct when a nudge is needed to make change.

She has experience with a wide range of concerns including addictions, bipolar struggles, parenting and relationship challenges, sleep problems, ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues related to aging. She also mentions past work with behavior modification across age groups before becoming a counselor.

People who want straightforward support for midlife transitions or other life shifts may find her approach practical and steady. Those interested in starting can confirm session options and scheduling before booking.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, or sleep disruption. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions, which can be useful for intimacy and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angie aims to learn about a person’s goals and preferences, then together they choose strategies that fit. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten a check-in session, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth when needed. Ask about practical scheduling details and how sessions will be arranged to match everyday life.
