About Angie

Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with six years of counseling experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, and addiction. Angie also supports those coping with relationship concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting strain, sleep problems, career questions, ADHD, and major life changes.

Before counseling she worked in mental health settings from 2009 onward, helping children, adults, and families with behavior change. She holds a Master of Science in Psychology and a Master of Counseling, with emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. That background informs how she responds to complex emotional needs.

Her clinical approach mixes several methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered techniques to help people notice emotions and values without judgment.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based ideas appear in her work when a client wants to look at emotional patterns and close relationships. Sessions tend to be calm and direct; Angie listens closely and can be straightforward when necessary. She is a military veteran and has experience working with other veterans.

People can expect clear, down-to-earth conversation about what is hard to name and practical steps to try between sessions. Her education and years in varied mental health roles shape a hands-on approach to stress, trauma, and coping with life’s difficulties.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with hard-to-identify emotions and patterns in relationships. It focuses on how feelings shape interactions and what those emotions ask for in close connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers clear exercises to change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions based on personal values rather than avoidance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Angie will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and life circumstances. That decision is based on the person's needs, preferences, and what they want to change or understand better.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session formats before booking via the online therapy options, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions useful for shorter weekly check-ins, longer in-depth conversations, or scheduling around work and caregiving commitments.
