Angie Hanson, LPC

Angie Hanson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She works with adults who are managing trauma, panic, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues tied to aging and geriatric needs. Angie writes plainly, listens closely, and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.

She has worked in mental health since 2009 and has practiced as a counselor for six years. She holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling, with an emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. That background shaped her focus on mood disorders, panic, agoraphobia, and trauma recovery.

Angie uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and client-centered methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when they fit the person’s needs. Sessions tend to focus on clear strategies, practical skills, and steadier emotional coping.

A veteran herself, Angie is comfortable supporting other veterans through military-related stress and life transitions. She describes her style as empathetic and calm, with a steady voice and firm expectations when needed.

People who come to her usually work on specific problems like sleeping, parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness adjustment, or issues with attention and mood. She encourages a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is checked each step of the way.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behaviors; it’s often used for panic, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more secure ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Angie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan so therapy fits the person’s needs and pace.

Confirm the session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make regular appointments easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between caregiving tasks. Some formats may be better for shorter symptom checks or when bandwidth is limited, while others suit deeper, interactive work. Ask about the available session types when scheduling so the format matches the intended goals and practical needs.
