About Angela
Angela Alderman-Shotton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and issues around self-esteem and life changes. Angela also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She uses talking, questioning, and practical strategies to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions often include work on communication, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions that come up around relationships and caregiving.
Angela draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is uncertain about change or wants to build readiness.
Her background includes a range of relationship-focused methods, including elements from the Gottman Method for relationship interactions and existential ideas about meaning and responsibility. She brings eleven years of practice to common concerns like codependency, attachment issues, and family of origin problems.
People who come to her often want clear, doable steps they can try between sessions. The process aims to make repeating patterns more visible and manageable, so choices feel less reactive and more intentional. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people clarify values, feel understood, and make decisions that match their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it helps when anxiety, low mood, or relationship patterns are driven by repeated thinking habits. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, conversational approach for people who feel unsure about change and want to build confidence and commitment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will talk with clients about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as new issues come up or priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break, or remove travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep continuity of care and practice skills in daily routines, while still discussing the relationship and behavior patterns they want to change.
