About Angela
Angela Alderman-Shotton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who focuses on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, and relationship issues. She uses straightforward, person-focused care to help people manage life transitions and everyday struggles. Her tone is warm and practical, geared toward parents looking for clear steps forward.
She draws on client-centered methods to build understanding and trust. That starts with listening and helping a person name what matters most.
Background and approach
From there she works with clients to set small, realistic goals and try new ways of handling problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for shifting unhelpful thoughts and routines. She uses it to address anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and low self-esteem by teaching skills people can use between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change, offering gentle encouragement toward goals. Angela also brings attention to relationship patterns and family dynamics. She addresses communication problems, blended family challenges, fatherhood issues, and caregiver stress in ways that focus on practical adjustments.
The Gottman Method informs her work around intimacy and communication for those wanting to improve connection. Clients can expect collaborative conversations and clear steps to try at home. With 11 years of experience, she balances warmth with actionable techniques so people leave sessions with something to practice.
She works in English and serves people in Oklahoma who want help navigating parenting and other life stresses.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It gives space for someone to describe what matters and helps the therapist follow the client's lead in setting goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping during life transitions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel uncertain about change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation one step at a time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try approaches that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you go. That teamwork helps find what actually helps you make progress.
Online therapy offers options to fit a busy life. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice communication work. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth or screen time is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter updates, or when writing helps you reflect. These formats make it easier to keep consistency, fit sessions into work or childcare schedules, and try strategies between meetings.
