About Angela

Angela Bellinghausen brings three decades of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep difficulties, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She also addresses related concerns such as body image, eating and food-related issues, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder, and women's issues. Angela emphasizes practical coping skills and emotional resilience to help clients move through painful moments and toward clearer priorities.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method where relationship dynamics are relevant. Angela prefers a strength-based, holistic orientation that centers the client's goals and values rather than focusing narrowly on diagnoses.

She uses mindfulness practices and collaborative problem solving to build self-awareness, increase emotion regulation, and support lasting behavioral change. Based in Colorado, Angela holds LPC and LIMHP credentials and draws on long-term clinical experience to tailor treatment to each person's needs and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work

Angela integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes values-guided action and accepting difficult emotions to build a meaningful life. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to provide a respectful, empathic therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. Early sessions often involve exploring which skills and frameworks resonate, and adjustments are made over time to prioritize what helps the client make progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between appointments while staying connected with a licensed professional.
