About Angie
Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with six years of counseling experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, sleep problems, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Before becoming an LPC she worked in mental health beginning in 2009, supporting kids, adults, and families with behavior change. She holds a master's degree in psychology and a master's in counseling, with an emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. That background informs how she approaches difficult emotions and disruptive patterns.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness-influenced practices. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy where they fit. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clear skills people can use outside of appointments.
Angie describes herself as having a quiet voice and a straightforward style. She can be direct when needed without being pushy. She has experience addressing panic, agoraphobia, and trauma-related concerns alongside mood and substance issues.
She is a military veteran and has worked with other veterans. People who want calm, practical guidance for anger, grief, or ongoing anxiety may find her approach useful. To begin, the process uses a short questionnaire and a scheduled first session to identify goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and taking action guided by personal values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and making choices that fit what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thinking and behavior into steps you can change, which is practical for stress, panic, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related struggles.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try together. Sessions can shift course over time as needs change, with the client and therapist deciding what works best.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to doing exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices between meetings, which can be convenient to complete at home or during a break at work. Licensed professionals often adapt tools and homework so therapy fits into everyday life rather than demanding large blocks of time.
