Angie Hanson , LPC

Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who brings both clinical training and long-term experience in mental health work to her practice. She holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling, with an academic emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. Over the course of her career she has worked in the mental healthcare field since 2009 and has six years of experience as a counselor, developing skills in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, panic, agoraphobia, and trauma.

Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques with a calm, empathetic manner. She frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - a practical method that examines thoughts and behaviors - alongside mindfulness-informed strategies and client-centered care that prioritize each person’s goals and values. As a Veteran, she also has a particular interest in supporting other veterans and adults facing life transitions, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, grief, and sleep or parenting difficulties.

Angie is known for a quiet, steady presence and an ability to balance gentle empathy with clear guidance. She aims to meet each person where they are, collaborate on realistic goals, and use approaches tailored to what is most helpful for that individual.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angie often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her work - a focused approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep concerns. She also practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist supports clients in finding their own solutions and building self-directed change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she uses at times, combining mindfulness and values-based work to help people cope with difficult emotions and pursue meaningful goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angie collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and additional support is available through live chat or text-based messaging when appropriate. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from home, and connect with a licensed professional in a way that fits daily life.
