Angie Hanson, LPC

Angie Hanson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Idaho. She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life. Angie aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes.

She has worked in mental health since 2009 and has six years as a practicing counselor. Angie holds a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s in counseling, with an emphasis on trauma, grief, and crisis counseling. That background informs how she listens and responds in sessions.

Her approach combines clear, evidence-informed techniques with a calm, client-centered style. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also draws on mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to help people live with difficult emotions without getting stuck.

Angie describes her voice as quiet and empathetic, and she aims to be direct when needed without being pushy. She has experience helping people with depression, panic and agoraphobia, trauma, addiction concerns, sleep difficulties, relationship and parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and related issues.

People who choose Angie can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth process that focuses on small, practical changes. She works to help clients set realistic goals and build habits that fit daily life, rather than promising quick fixes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on increasing willingness to have difficult feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based ideas emphasize understanding how past relationships shape current patterns and offer ways to build safer emotional connections and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that seem to fit. She treats the process as collaborative, adjusting techniques based on what helps in real life rather than sticking to a fixed plan.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions when therapy fits into their regular routine.
