About Angela
Angela Totman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She spent much of her career working in education as a school counselor. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Her background includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, psychoeducation, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches guide short-term skill building and clearer thinking about problems in daily life.
Angela has worked in settings that involved grief and crisis counseling, suicide prevention, intervention and postvention, and self-esteem development. That experience shaped how she listens for practical steps a person can take right away. She brings attention to safety and to how past experiences affect present choices.
In sessions she focuses on concrete coping skills, communication strategies, and problem-solving steps. She also helps people sort through questions about purpose and direction when life changes leave them feeling stuck. Work-related stress, isolation, and struggles common to young adults are among the topics she addresses.
Outside of work she enjoys running, time in nature, reading, and family activities. To begin, prospective clients are asked to follow the site's process to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching concrete tools for day-to-day challenges.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, which looks for small, achievable changes a person can try right away. This approach is useful when someone wants practical steps for improving communication, work problems, or motivation toward life purpose.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, explain how each method might help, and adapt techniques to fit the client's goals and preferences in collaborative sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and provide continuity after life changes. Some formats also let people do shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when that helps them focus on the work.
