About Angela
Angela Alderman-Shotton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She uses a thoughtful, person-focused style to help people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She centers sessions on the client and listens for what matters most.
Angela helps people name emotions, spot unhelpful thoughts, and try small changes that can ease daily stress. Many come for help with anxiety, depression, anger, or problems at work and home.
Background and approach
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person’s perspective and lived experience. These methods are useful for managing stress, navigating relationship difficulties, and coping with life transitions.
Angela brings 11 years of experience in counseling to her practice. She has supported people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strains, and concerns tied to identity and intimacy. She pays attention to family-of-origin issues, attachment wounds, and the practical burdens caregivers often carry.
Her sessions aim to be collaborative. She asks about goals, offers tools people can try between meetings, and adjusts the approach as needs change. People looking for steady, practical work on anger, communication problems, or self-esteem may find this style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Angela uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation begins with your priorities; the therapist listens closely and follows what you bring. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood before trying change. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and testing small experiments to shift them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related concerns.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Angela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most, and she invites feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, coaching prompts, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options allow people to fit counseling into busy lives and try different formats to see what works best.
