How Angie’s Approaches Work Online

Angie often uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify personal values and take small committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. This can help with depression, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Angie listens to each person’s situation and goals, and then suggests techniques to try. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful, so clients and Angie decide together what fits best.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a tight day. It can also make scheduling with work or caregiving commitments simpler. Licensed professionals use talk-based tools, breath work, behavioral experiments, and homework exercises that translate well to remote sessions, and Angie brings those same practical strategies to online care when appropriate.
