About Angela
Angela Alderman-Shotton, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), is licensed in Oklahoma and has 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, parenting and other life changes. Her approach is described in her own terms as collaborative and client-centered, focusing on understanding individual experiences and developing practical coping strategies.
Angela uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns and try new ways of responding. She also draws on Existential Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to explore meaning and motivation. The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and conflict within intimate relationships.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, actionable steps. Angela helps clients with emotion regulation, communication skills, and problem-solving. She addresses attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment worries, codependency, and blended family concerns. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, career transitions, and parenting challenges.
Her practice includes work on more complex diagnoses and presentations such as bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, domestic violence consequences, and addiction-related problems. She brings eleven years of experience to these concerns and aims to help clients build stronger day-to-day coping plans.
People can expect a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. Angela emphasizes collaboration and finding what works in each person’s life. To begin, she asks clients to complete an intake process and set goals they can test between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's own goals and experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client’s lead to help clarify feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses brief experiments to test new responses and reduce unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy invites discussion about meaning, values, and life direction when people face big transitions or questions of purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative decision and may shift as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online sessions are that they can fit more easily into busy days and reduce travel time. Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online meetings can make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins, arrange sessions during a lunch break, or avoid commuting when life is hectic.
