About Angela

Angela Alderman-Shotton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who uses Narrative and client-centered approaches to help people tell and reshape the stories they live by. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, parenting strain, and major life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, with attention to practical steps that fit each person's life.

She draws on 11 years of experience working with adults facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy.

Background and approach

Angela pays close attention to family of origin patterns, attachment and abandonment wounds, and the ways these affect current relationships and self-worth. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and to map small, doable changes. Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral ideas with narrative listening to spot unhelpful thoughts and to rewrite limiting stories.

Angela also uses existential questions to help people find meaning and the Gottman Method principles to improve communication in close relationships. She explains tools in clear language and practices them together with each person. Clients can expect a collaborative tone where their experience leads the pace and priorities.

Angela supports people through emotional pain and life transitions while emphasizing strengths and daily routines that build resilience. She helps people set realistic goals and track progress over time. Her approach is not one-size-fits-all; she adapts methods to match each person's goals and values.

People who want a compassionate listener who also offers concrete strategies may find her style helpful.

Online session options

Narrative and Practical Therapy Online

Angela uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and reframe the stories that shape their feelings and choices, turning stuck patterns into new possibilities. She combines this with Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's own perspective and priorities so the work moves at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also available to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela will listen to your concerns and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. Together you will decide which techniques to keep, which to adapt, and how to measure progress so the work stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video lets you use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone calls can be a quick check-in when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for short updates or when a written record helps reflection. These options give flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings, and varying communication styles while keeping the focus on practical help and steady progress.
