About Angela
Angela Murphy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Idaho with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. She meets people where they are and listens first.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Angela helps clients identify unhelpful coping patterns and replace them with skills that feel doable day to day.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means conversations focus on a person’s experiences and practical steps they can try between sessions. Angela also brings Trauma-Focused Therapy experience to work with trauma-related concerns.
She brings background in research on women and gender roles and past experience working with children who have experienced trauma. Today much of her work centers on supporting women, though she addresses a wide range of concerns listed above. Angela aims to help people build better ways of relating to themselves and others.
She emphasizes self-compassion while teaching skills for emotion regulation, communication, and daily routines. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Angela uses client-centered work that focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach means sessions start with listening and building a clear plan together, which can be done in a video call or in messaging formats. It helps people feel heard and involved in choosing next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, sleep and eating concerns, and stress management, and it adapts easily to brief exercises and between-session practice when working remotely.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing based on feedback so the plan stays relevant and practical.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls let therapists observe nonverbal cues and keep longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing practice between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while continuing steady progress.
