Angela Alderman-Shotton, LPC

Angela Alderman-Shotton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or stuck during life changes. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aiming to make hard conversations feel manageable.

She uses a collaborative approach that centers the person in the room. Sessions often explore practical steps for everyday problems like worry, low self-esteem, relationship conflict, and grief. Angela also supports people facing addictions, trauma, or shifts in parenting and family roles.

Over eleven years of work has shaped a practice that values clear communication and realistic goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's needs. The Gottman Method and Motivational Interviewing inform work around relationships and change motivation.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is working and what needs to change. Angela helps people build coping skills they can use between sessions and find small steps toward better daily routines. Many people come for help with career stress, intimacy-related concerns, or chronic worry.

Her approach pays attention to life stories and attachments, including issues like abandonment, blended family challenges, or caregiver stress. The goal is to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and move toward more satisfying relationships and brighter days.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions. It helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce worry and change unhelpful behaviors. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in about progress and adjusting strategies when needed.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people prefer online sessions because they can join from a quieter space, use fewer travel resources, or schedule appointments around work or childcare. Talk with the therapist about how therapy can be arranged to match your routine and needs.
