Angela Murphy , LPC

Angela Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience. She is licensed as a counselor in Idaho and Arizona and focuses on listening, coming alongside clients, and empowering women. As an LPC she holds a professional counseling license that authorizes her to provide psychotherapy and clinical support in her licensed states.

Trained as a certified clinical trauma professional, she previously counseled diverse children who had experienced trauma and for more than two years has concentrated her work on adult women. She also has knowledge of religious trauma and how faith-related experiences can shape coping and relationship patterns. Angela studied qualitative research through a doctoral certificate program and directed part of that work toward women and gender roles, a focus informed by her own experiences as a woman, daughter, wife, and mother.

She brings attention to how cultural and family messages, trauma, and abuse can form coping skills that later become unhelpful. Using a person-centered and eclectic approach tailored to each person, she supports clients in developing new, compassionate coping strategies and building relational skills, including how to relate to their own inner selves. Angela maintains a commitment to ongoing learning and professional growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angela Murphy uses client-centered therapy to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients guide the pace and focus of sessions; this approach helps people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, relationships, or identity concerns feel seen and heard. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and changing unhelpful patterns. When past harm is a central concern she draws on trauma-focused therapy to gently process traumatic experiences and develop skills for managing trauma-related symptoms and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She balances evidence-based techniques with a person-centered stance so treatment can adapt as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Angela is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and allow therapy to integrate more smoothly into everyday life.
