Angela Alderman-Shotton

Angela Alderman-Shotton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people work through strong emotions, relationship problems, and big life changes. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping someone feel understood and find practical ways forward.

She has 11 years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Angela also works with clients facing trauma, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and anger. She pays attention to family dynamics and attachment patterns that affect how people relate to themselves and others.

In sessions she uses a few different approaches to fit each person. Angela draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful space. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also brings existential questions into therapy to help people clarify meaning and values.

She includes practical tools for communication and relationship work, including elements from the Gottman Method. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding the motivation to make a change. These tools are mixed with a focus on the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her aim is to walk alongside people as they reduce overwhelm and build coping skills. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the Start Therapy process to begin.

How Angela's approaches fit online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and explore their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches straightforward tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy invites discussion about meaning, choices, and life direction, which can be helpful when people face major transitions or emptiness.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and situation. She adjusts techniques over time based on feedback and progress so therapy fits what the client needs.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins when life gets hectic. It also lets people try conversational and skills-based work from wherever they are, with the same focus on practical tools and relationship concerns they would use in person.
