About Angela
Angela Alderman-Shotton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
Angela uses clear, practical conversations to help people name what’s happening and try different ways of responding. She often helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck, and then coaches small steps to change how they react in tense moments. Sessions tend to focus on present problems and workable strategies rather than long explanations.
Her background includes several therapy approaches. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in everyday life. She also uses existential ideas to look at meaning and choices when people feel stuck.
Angela has additional experience with family-related concerns such as blended family issues, parenting stress, fatherhood topics, and family of origin problems. She addresses attachment wounds, abandonment fears, communication problems, and codependency in straightforward terms. She also works with people navigating career pressures and life transitions.
Sessions start by clarifying what the person wants to change. Angela and the client set small, measurable goals and track progress over time. Practical tools, coaching between sessions, and honest feedback are part of her approach. The work is collaborative and focused on usable outcomes.
How Angela uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Angela often combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps someone clarify values, priorities, and how they want to respond in difficult moments. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to test different responses to anger and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaboration means techniques can shift over time as the client notices what helps most for their stress, relationships, or anger responses.

Talk with the therapist during the first steps about timing, length, and what will fit into everyday life so therapy supports practical changes.
