Angela Bellinghausen is a licensed mental health professional with 30 years of clinical experience supporting people through life transitions, loss, and emotional distress. She brings a strengths-based, holistic perspective to care and focuses on helping clients build coping skills, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and find greater balance in everyday life.

She holds LPC and LIMHP credentials - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential for professionals trained in counseling approaches, and LIMHP stands for Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, which indicates advanced training to provide independent mental health services. Angela integrates evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Transactional Analysis, and mindfulness practices to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Her experience includes work with stress, grief and bereavement, self-esteem concerns, addiction and substance use issues, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and challenges related to aging. She emphasizes empowering clients for personal growth, prioritizing wellness over labels, and blending traditional and integrative methods so clients can discover what resonates best for them. Angela views therapeutic work as a collaborative journey and considers it a privilege to support others through life’s challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and goal-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed actions - it is useful for stress, life changes, and finding purpose. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the client’s self-direction so individuals feel heard and can explore solutions at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angela works collaboratively with clients to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and then shapes a treatment plan that may draw from one or more approaches so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility to fit care into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions offer a simple alternative when video is not practical, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and access care from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
