Angela Alderman-Shotton, LPC

Angela Alderman-Shotton is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She centers sessions on empathy and respect, helping people work through emotional challenges and life transitions. Angela aims to create a calm space so clients can talk honestly and build practical ways to cope.

She draws on client-centered methods that focus on each person’s story. That means the work starts with what matters most to the individual and moves at a comfortable pace. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors.

Angela has 11 years of experience and often supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also works with issues like grief, addiction, parenting strain, and struggles around self-esteem and identity. Midlife crisis is listed among her focus areas for people navigating major life changes.

Sessions tend to emphasize clear steps and real-world skills. Angela helps people set goals, test small changes, and notice what works in daily life. She also attends to patterns from family of origin, attachment concerns, and communication problems that affect relationships.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach. Angela listens, reflects, and offers practical tools such as motivational interviewing techniques and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills are a focus. Her aim is to help people move forward with more confidence and more options.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's story. It emphasizes empathy, reflection, and supporting clients to find their own solutions, which can work well in online conversations. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses clear exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting; it can be practical for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress in remote sessions. Motivational interviewing helps people find motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and values, and it pairs well with goal-focused online work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the first steps in therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That means clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and how quickly to move forward.

Confirm the current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support practicing new skills in between appointments and keeping momentum during life transitions.
