Angela Bellinghausen , LPC, LIMHP

Angela Bellinghausen brings 30 years of experience to her work as a licensed counselor, combining practical skills with a person-centered, strength-based outlook. As an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and an LIMHP (Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner), she focuses on healing and wellness rather than solely on diagnosis, helping clients build coping skills and regain balance in their lives.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with mindfulness practices and a holistic, integrative stance that supports personal growth. Angela has supported individuals through depression, anxiety, stress, grief and bereavement, relationship challenges, trauma and substance use concerns, and life transitions, emphasizing empowerment and practical strategies for everyday living.

Over the course of her career she has worked with a diverse range of clients, an experience that has broadened her perspective and informed a flexible, collaborative style. She strives to meet each person where they are, helping them identify what resonates and tailoring care to their values, goals, and strengths. For Angela, guiding others through life’s challenges is both a professional calling and a privilege.

Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Support

Angela integrates several therapeutic approaches into online work to meet each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for mood concerns, anxiety, and coping with everyday stressors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration, creating a supportive space for self-exploration and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their goals, preferences, and circumstances. This shared decision making allows adjustments over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, ongoing support in formats that fit daily life while helping clients stay engaged with their goals.
