About Angela
Angela Harmon is a licensed counselor who emphasizes acceptance and practical skills. She uses straightforward methods to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values. Angela believes everyone has worth and offers steady, nonjudgmental support while clients work through anxiety, depression, stress, and past trauma.
She draws on mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change small daily habits. Angela also integrates skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions and improve coping.
Background and approach
Those approaches are used in short, concrete steps rather than long lectures. With 13 years of clinical experience, Angela brings familiarity with how stress and trauma affect the body and daily routines. She addresses sleep problems, low self-esteem, and life transitions with practical tools people can use between sessions.
She also works with concerns related to sexuality and alternative relationship structures when those topics come up in care. Angela holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC. She practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English.
Her work blends skills training, values-based choices, and grounding strategies to reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence. Parents looking for clear, doable steps to manage household stress or parenting strain may find her straightforward style helpful. Angela aims to help people move from feeling stuck to taking manageable actions that fit their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are hard. It combines practical steps with mindfulness skills to build a life guided by values rather than by avoidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches simple ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and to test and change them through real-life experiments. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems because it targets thinking patterns and behaviors that keep difficulties going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These techniques help when feelings feel overwhelming and when better coping strategies are needed in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the problem at hand, then try methods that match the client’s needs. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works in sessions and between them.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family routines, get timely support during stressful periods, and practice skills in real time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach exercises, coach through difficult moments, and review progress without requiring travel.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
