About Angela
Angela Harmon is a licensed counselor who brings 13 years of experience to her work. She approaches therapy with a simple belief: people have worth and can reconnect with it. She meets clients where they are and helps them take practical steps toward feeling better.
Her sessions focus on present concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and the effects of past trauma. She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and body signals, then try different responses.
Background and approach
This combination is meant to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Angela also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, career strain, sleep problems, and identity concerns including gender dysphoria and LGBT matters. She works with people grappling with complicated sexual cultures such as BDSM and polyamory, and supports caregivers facing burnout or compassion fatigue.
Hands-on strategies are common in her work. Clients may practice noticing thoughts, try behavioral experiments, learn emotion regulation skills from dialectical approaches, or use acceptance techniques to move toward values. She frames these as tools people can use between sessions to handle hard moments.
Angela holds an LPC credential and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington. She offers sessions in English and combines evidence-informed methods with a calm, practical style. If someone wants to explore coping skills, relationships, or healing from hurt, she aims to provide steady support.
To begin, she helps people set clear goals and picks approaches that fit each person’s life. Sessions aim to be collaborative, focused, and practical so progress can show up in everyday routines.
How ACT, CBT, and DBT work in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where making forward steps matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is a practical way to reduce anxious thinking, improve sleep habits, and change behaviors that keep problems going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools can help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Angela will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on acceptance, skill-building, behavioral experiments, or a mix of methods that fit the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work on these methods. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging works for brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to practice skills where life actually happens.
