About Angela
Angela Bellinghausen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with three decades of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain, sleep problems, addictions, trauma, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her manner is straightforward and warm, aimed at making hard conversations feel manageable. Angela uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions.
She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions often include skill-building exercises, thought-work to shift unhelpful patterns, and mindfulness practices to manage strong emotions.
Her approach draws on the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to change thinking and behavior. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation when needed.
These tools are blended to match what each person finds useful. Angela favors a strengths-based, client-centered style.
She encourages small, doable steps and pays attention to what is working. She aims to help people regain confidence, improve daily coping, and find clearer direction.
With a long career in the field, Angela has worked across many concerns and life stages. Her practice emphasizes practical problem solving, increased self-awareness, and building routines that support better mental health.
She invites people to explore change at a pace that feels right for them.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Angela often combines the Gottman Method and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when working with relationship patterns and life direction. The Gottman Method focuses on identifying interaction habits and building practical communication skills to reduce conflict and increase connection. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and then takes small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, especially for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. CBT uses structured exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. The therapist will talk with each person to decide which approaches feel like the best fit and will adjust methods as goals and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video calls let therapists and clients work together face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try approaches that match current needs.
