Angela Bellinghausen, LPC, LIMHP

Angela Bellinghausen is a licensed mental health professional with 30 years of clinical experience supporting adults through life transitions, loss, and emotional challenges. As an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and a LIMHP - Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - she blends long-standing clinical knowledge with a strengths-based, holistic perspective that prioritizes healing and increased wellness over strict diagnostic labels.

Angela draws from several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered methods, and relationship-focused techniques. She tailors interventions to each person, helping clients build coping skills for anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addiction concerns, trauma recovery, sleep difficulties, and relationship problems. Her work also addresses aging and geriatric issues, body image, eating-related concerns, shame and guilt, social anxiety, and women’s issues.

Known for a collaborative, integrative style, Angela encourages mindfulness, personal empowerment, and practical self-care while inviting clients to find the approaches that resonate most with them. She values diversity in the people she serves and continues to expand her training to offer compassionate, patient-centered care that supports growth, increased resilience, and meaningful life change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angela integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - a useful approach for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and mood challenges. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and unconditional support, creating space for clients to explore identity, self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns in a nonjudgmental way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their goals, preferences, and current needs, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and integrate therapeutic tools into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
