About Angie
Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and parenting pressures.

She has six years as a counselor and worked in mental health since 2009. Angie holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling, with coursework emphasizing trauma, grief, and crisis counseling.
Background and approach
That background shapes how she approaches intense life events and loss. In sessions she blends straightforward tools with steady support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool she uses to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
She also uses mindfulness-based ideas to help with overwhelm and emotional reactivity. Angie describes herself as empathetic and calm, yet able to be direct when that helps move things forward. Parents often find her practical suggestions useful for handling day-to-day parenting stress and sleep or behavior concerns.
She is a veteran and is comfortable working with other vets. Her work often focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Angie practices in Idaho and conducts sessions in English.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility
Angie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and try small, practical changes that reduce distress. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and to strengthen close connections where those patterns cause trouble. These approaches often help with anxiety, depression, parenting strains, trauma reactions, and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. The focus is on what helps in daily life, not on fitting a person to a single method.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and work through exercises together, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around parenting, work, and other obligations while maintaining continuity of care.
