Angie Hanson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who brings both formal training and long-term field experience to her work. She has six years of counseling experience and has worked in mental health care since 2009, supporting children, adults, and families through behavior change, crisis, and ongoing challenges.

Hanson holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling, with graduate-level emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. That background informs her work with people facing depression, anxiety, panic, agoraphobia, and trauma, as well as struggles with addiction, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions.

A veteran herself, Hanson welcomes working with other veterans and understands military-related stressors. She is known for a calm, empathetic presence paired with the ability to be direct when needed. Angie approaches each client as an individual and aims to collaborate on clear, realistic steps to address what is troubling them and move toward better daily functioning and wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Counseling and Care

Angie Hanson commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches, and she also uses attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns are central to a concern. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on the individual’s own goals and strengths, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that can be especially helpful for grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can aid couples, family members, and individuals facing intimacy or communication challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angie collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to the unique situation of each person.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules, geographic limitations, and varying comfort levels with communication. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the way of working that feels most manageable and effective for the individual.
