About Angie
Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and related concerns. She focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use to reduce symptoms and manage daily life. Her manner is calm and direct, and she aims to make sessions feel steady and approachable.
Hanson brings six years as a counselor and longer experience in mental healthcare dating back to 2009. She holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling, with an emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling.
Background and approach
That background informs how she supports people working through panic, agoraphobia, and difficult loss. Her work combines cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and a client-centered stance. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice small behavior changes, and use present-moment skills that fit their life.
She also draws on attachment-focused ideas when relationship or intimacy concerns come up. She has experience supporting people with addictions, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, sleep problems, caregiving stress, and chronic illness. She is a veteran and has experience working with other veterans who bring military life issues into therapy.
Sessions are straightforward and goal oriented, but shaped by what each person needs. Prospective clients in Idaho can connect in video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, or sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused and attachment-informed ideas look at how patterns in close relationships influence feeling safe and connected, which can help with intimacy and communication concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. Sessions are adapted as progress is made so the plan fits what is actually helping.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of exercises, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support ongoing practice and quick coping prompts between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum while addressing stress, trauma, anxiety, or relationship concerns.
