Angela Murphy , LPC

Angela Murphy is a licensed counselor with six years of clinical experience, holding the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. She has active training as a certified clinical trauma professional and has worked with diverse children who experienced trauma before shifting her practice to focus on women for more than two years.

Her background includes study in qualitative research through a doctoral certificate program, where her perspective as a woman, daughter, wife, and mother informed research into women and gender roles. That combination of clinical training and research experience gives her particular insight into how cultural and family messaging, as well as past trauma and abuse, shape coping strategies that can become unhelpful over time.

Angela aims to listen closely, come alongside clients, and empower women to develop new coping skills grounded in self-compassion. She brings a person-centered and eclectic approach tailored to each individual, helping clients strengthen relational skills and learn to relate to their own inner experience in healthier ways.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathic environment where the client guides the pace and direction of work. This approach helps people who want to explore emotions, improve self-understanding, and build self-compassion.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the impact of past traumatic experiences, helping clients process painful memories and develop safer coping skills. It is relevant for those dealing with trauma, abuse, or related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and life circumstances, making it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists without sacrificing consistency of care.
