About Angela
Angela Alderman-Shotton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She offers a supportive, client-centered style that focuses on understanding each person's story and practical steps for change.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and big life changes. Codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns are among her additional focus areas. Her approach aims to help people find more stable coping and clearer patterns in relationships.
Angela draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship issues. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change.
In sessions, the emphasis is practical. Angela helps set small, achievable goals and practices new ways of communicating and managing emotions. She pays attention to family of origin patterns, blended family dynamics, and stresses that come with caregiving or parenting roles.
With 11 years of experience, she aims to make therapy a collaborative process. Prospective clients are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the Start Therapy button. Angela emphasizes steady progress and respectful, down-to-earth conversation.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are so they can name goals and feel heard; it helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Existential therapy invites people to explore meaning, values, and life direction when they feel stuck or uncertain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Over several sessions the plan can be adjusted based on what is most helpful.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when challenges arise. It can also make some steps of therapy, like homework review and skills practice, easier to integrate into daily life. Licensed professionals and therapists aim to match approach and schedule so therapy fits into practical routines.
