About Angela
Angela Bellinghausen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) practicing in Colorado with thirty years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and sleep difficulties. Angela also notes focus areas such as body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and women’s issues.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools to help people notice thinking patterns and build new coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered ideas also shape sessions, with attention to values and the client’s perspective.
Sessions typically involve working through specific problems, practicing skills, and checking what helps most over time. Angela encourages mindfulness and simple exercises people can use between meetings. She aims to increase functioning and day-to-day coping rather than focus solely on labels or diagnoses.
Her background includes long-term practice with a wide range of people and concerns. That experience informs a flexible mix of traditional and integrative techniques chosen to fit each person’s preferences and goals. She emphasizes learning practical tools alongside reflection about values and meaning.
People seeking help with guilt and shame, grief, addiction issues, or stress often find the sessions center on concrete steps and clearer thinking. Angela invites straightforward conversation about what is getting in the way and what small changes might make daily life easier.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small, workable steps to live with difficult feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills; it can be useful for intense emotions and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is often part of the early work. Angela will discuss what methods might fit based on the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. The choice of tools is collaborative and can be adjusted as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a day, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. Online work can support practicing skills between meetings and carrying exercises straight into everyday life. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and DBT exercises to remote sessions so clients keep working on practical changes around guilt, shame, anxiety, and grief.
