About Angie

Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with six years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, parenting strain, sleep difficulties, and ADHD. Angie also lists codependency among her focus areas.

She trained with a masters degree in psychology and a masters in counseling, with emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. Before becoming a counselor she worked in mental health settings beginning in 2009, helping children, adults, and families with behavior change. That front-line background shapes how she approaches practical problems now.

Sessions are direct and down-to-earth. Angie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based ideas to help people notice what matters and act on it. Her work is client-centered, which means the person's goals guide the work together.

Angie has experience with depression, panic, agoraphobia, and trauma, and she notes comfort working with fellow veterans. She describes a calm tone and a straightforward manner, able to be gentle or firm depending on what a person needs in the moment.

If someone is repeatedly putting others first, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling worn down by caregiving or a partner's substance use, Angie focuses on concrete skills and steady, practical steps.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Angie commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, then committing to actions that align with what matters despite difficult feelings. She also brings attachment-based ideas into conversations about relationship patterns and intimacy, looking at how early bonds shape current responses.

Finding the right approach is something she plans with each person. Angie treats the choice as collaborative - she listens to a person's goals and tries methods that feel workable. If an approach doesn't fit, she will adjust the focus and try different tools together so the work stays relevant to daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work breaks, or caregiving duties and can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when video is difficult. Discuss practical preferences during the initial matching and scheduling step so sessions align with real-world needs.
