Angela is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Arkansas with 24 years of experience. She treats common life challenges like grief, coping with change, and mood concerns.

Background and approach
In sessions she uses practical methods to help clients notice patterns and try small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to calm the body and focus attention in the moment.
She also brings solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and build momentum quickly. For people coping with trauma or intense losses she uses trauma-focused strategies aimed at managing symptoms and increasing daily functioning. Angela encourages collaboration so plans feel realistic and match each person’s life.
Her style is direct but warm. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin and helps people connect actions to values. The work is paced to what feels manageable, with practical skills to use between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. That approach breaks bigger problems into manageable steps and works well for worry, panic, and mood issues.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name difficult feelings and improve communication patterns. This approach can be useful for resolving recurring family conflicts and for people who want clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will discuss options and tailor a plan based on each person's goals, daily life, and what feels doable. Sessions are collaborative so adjustments can be made as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotion work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different comfort levels.
