About Angie
Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with six years of counseling experience. She has worked in mental health since 2009 and holds a master’s degree in counseling and a master’s degree in psychology. She lists help for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, sleep issues, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
In earlier roles she worked with children, adults, and families on behavior change. That background still shapes how she approaches practical problems. She emphasizes cognitive behavioral techniques and uses mindfulness practices to help slow down racing thoughts. She also describes her work as client-centered, focusing on the person in front of her rather than only on a diagnosis.
Her training included an emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling, and she has experience with panic and agoraphobia. She notes additional focus areas such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, attachment issues, addiction, and challenges that come with aging. She also identifies herself as a Veteran and states she enjoys working with other veterans.
Sessions are described as straightforward and direct when needed, while also allowing space for reflection. Angie aims to help people sort through what is worrying them and to teach skills they can use between sessions. She encourages parents and adults facing family strain to talk through practical steps and coping strategies.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical behavioral changes, which is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and may be useful for people dealing with long-standing relationship or intimacy-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting over time rather than committing to a single method from the first session.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing commute time and allowing appointments during short breaks. They also allow for quieter, camera-off check-ins when that is helpful, and for using mindfulness or CBT exercises between meetings. Talk with the therapist during the matching step about your schedule and the kinds of sessions that will work best for you.
