Angela Bellinghausen , LPC, LIMHP

Angela Bellinghausen is a licensed counselor with three decades of clinical experience who works from a strengths-based, holistic perspective to support personal growth and resilience. She holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and a LIMHP - Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - and draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help people move through life changes and emotional pain.

Her practice focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, and sleep problems. She also addresses related areas including aging and geriatric issues, body image and eating concerns, communication struggles, loneliness and isolation, life purpose, panic disorder, seasonal mood changes, and women’s issues. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills, mindfulness, and building strengths that support lasting wellness rather than an exclusive focus on diagnosis.

Angela combines cognitive and behavioral strategies with mindfulness-informed approaches and client-centered principles to tailor care to each person’s needs. She values collaboration, helping individuals identify what resonates for them and adapt tools that fit their daily lives. Her years of work with a diverse range of clients inform a respectful, flexible approach that balances traditional techniques with integrative options.

Clients who seek support can expect a clinician committed to empowerment, ongoing learning, and meeting people where they are on their journeys. Angela frames therapy as a shared process and views the opportunity to assist others through life’s challenges as both a privilege and an honor.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life. It can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by shifting focus from symptom control to value-driven living.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms. It is commonly applied to depression, anxiety, panic, and sleep-related difficulties by building concrete strategies and coping techniques.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It supports people experiencing intense emotions, relationship challenges, or patterns of impulsive behavior by teaching clear, actionable skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Angela works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps personalize care so skills and insights translate into everyday life.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain consistency during life changes, and continue work between appointments with messages or brief check-ins when helpful.
