About Angela
Angela Alderman-Shotton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She offers straightforward, person-focused therapy for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and changes in life circumstances. Her work emphasizes everyday thoughts and habits to help people make practical shifts that improve daily life.
She uses a collaborative, respectful style that centers the person's own goals. Sessions aim to make sense of what is happening now, identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and build small routines that feel doable. The tone is calm and encouraging, with attention to emotional safety and steady progress.
Her practice includes support for relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues related to identity. Angela also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She brings 11 years of experience working with these kinds of difficulties.
Clinically, she draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential ideas, the Gottman Method for relationship work, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches shape how she listens, asks questions, and helps people try new ways of coping. Therapy sessions focus on practical changes and clearer thinking rather than labels.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first, with the therapist listening carefully and reflecting what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs validation, clearer self-understanding, and steady emotional support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and routines. It often involves setting small experiments and practical homework to shift everyday habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change over time based on what helps most.
Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, as formats are not listed here.
