Angela Whitecrane Widdicombe, LCSW, LMFT

Angela Whitecrane Widdicombe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Montana with 30 years of experience. She has worked in clinical settings supporting people affected by addiction, homelessness, and foster care, and she lists codependency among her focus areas.

She helps people who keep putting others first, people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and those living around someone else’s drinking or crises. Sessions focus on understanding how past hurts and current relationship patterns show up in everyday life. Conversations are direct and practical so clients can try new ways of responding between sessions.

Her background includes long-term social work in clinics that served foster children, veterans, and people with addiction. That history informs her work with grief, trauma, caregiver stress, and the strain of living with someone else's instability. She draws on ideas from attachment, emotions, and behavior to notice patterns in relationships.

In session she listens closely and helps people name what they are feeling and doing. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused ideas, and Client-Centered methods to help people notice choices and practice new responses.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation about boundaries, communication, codependency, and coping with life changes. The focus is on small, practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable and less driven by other people’s needs.
