About Angie

Angie Hanson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and a broad range of life challenges.

Background and approach

With six years of counseling experience and prior work in mental health beginning in 2009, she combines practical skill with a calm, empathic presence to support clients through difficult transitions and persistent concerns such as depression, panic, addiction, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Hanson holds master's degrees in psychology and counseling with an emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis work. Her approach emphasizes cognitive behavioral strategies alongside mindfulness and client-centered techniques, allowing her to tailor sessions to each person's needs.

She describes herself as quietly empathetic and capable of offering firm guidance without pressure. Clients can expect focused work on symptom reduction and coping skills as well as attention to underlying patterns like attachment, communication, and self-esteem.

Angie also brings experience addressing complex concerns including chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD, and life stage challenges, adapting intervention style to the goals and preferences of each individual.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Angie frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and many day-to-day stressors. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thought and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve functioning.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes clarifying values and building psychological flexibility so people can move toward meaningful goals even when uncomfortable feelings arise. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relationship patterns and early attachment experiences are relevant, helping clients explore interpersonal dynamics and build healthier connections.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angie works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and she tailors methods as therapy progresses to find what fits best for the client's specific concerns.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work and family commitments and to maintain continuity of care from home or other convenient locations.
