About Angie

Angie Hanson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of concerns. She brings a calm, empathic presence and a direct style when needed. Her work aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or intimacy struggles. Angie also supports people facing addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD, and major life changes.

Angie has six years as a counselor and has worked in mental health since 2009. She holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling, with emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. Before becoming a counselor she helped children, adults, and families with behavior change, experience that informs her practical approach today.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot patterns of thinking and try different responses. Angie also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered listening to help people notice values and take small steps toward them. Attachment-focused work is used when relationship patterns are part of the concern.

Sessions are described as steady and straightforward. Angie says she has a quiet voice and listens carefully, while also pushing when a gentle challenge will move things forward. She has experience working with veterans and understands military life from her own background.

People who want clear, skills-based help plus a compassionate listener may find her style fits. To start, follow the site’s booking steps and complete the brief matching form to schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and focus on small actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current connections, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angie will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then suggest approaches to try together. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which methods to use and adjust them as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people meet with a therapist who has relevant experience without relocating. Ask about specific formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can be arranged to fit your routine.
