About Angela
Angela Alderman-Shotton is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. Angela also lists family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and grief among her focus areas.
She uses practical, person-focused methods in sessions. Conversations are grounded and direct. Clients can expect to talk through how past family roles and patterns affect current choices and relationships. Angela also addresses communication problems, codependency, and blended family strain.
Angela draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills are central to the work. These approaches guide collaborative planning and concrete steps between meetings.
Sessions commonly address commitment worries, intimacy-related issues, and parenting stress. Angela helps people looking to rebuild self-esteem, manage anger, or cope with major life changes. She also supports those working through addiction concerns and bipolar mood challenges.
Her practice includes motivational interviewing and narrative therapy techniques when useful. That can mean setting small goals, examining stories people tell about themselves, and testing new behaviors in daily life. Angela encourages straightforward problem-solving alongside deeper reflection.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to follow what matters most to the client. In practice this means sessions concentrate on the client's concerns and priorities, with the counselor asking questions and reflecting back what they hear to help clarify feelings and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is practical and skill-based, useful for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns learned from family dynamics. Sessions often include homework tasks and simple experiments to test new responses.
The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose the approaches that fit best. That means discussing goals, trying methods, and adjusting plans as needed. Clients and the counselor work together to decide what to focus on and which tools to use.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or busy schedules. Practical benefits can include shorter check-ins when needed, not traveling to an office, and being able to schedule appointments at varied times to better match daily life.
