Angela Alderman-Shotton, LPC - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Angela

Angela Alderman-Shotton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who uses a compassionate, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, and family concerns. She focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can handle day-to-day challenges more easily. Her style is collaborative and respectful, with attention to each person’s story and goals.

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping skills.

Background and approach

She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and recurring patterns in relationships. Motivational interviewing supports people working through change, including addictions and lifestyle shifts. Angela has 11 years of experience in the field.

That experience includes work with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar challenges. She also attends to family patterns like attachment, blended family stress, and fatherhood issues. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused.

Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try practical strategies between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed. The therapist emphasizes building stronger communication, clearer boundaries, and better day-to-day routines. Her practice suits people coping with life transitions, relationship struggles, and those seeking clearer direction.

Angela meets clients where they are and helps them move toward goals at a manageable pace.

How therapy approaches translate online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps clarify values, and supports clients in choosing changes that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers steps to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily challenges, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and comfortable for the client.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments, practice new skills between sessions, and connect from home or work. The mix of real-time conversations and messaging allows flexible pacing and ongoing support while working toward concrete goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
