Angela Murphy, LPC - Therapist in Idaho

About Angela

Angela Murphy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Idaho with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting challenges. Angela also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, relationship problems, addiction, self-esteem, ADHD, and concerns related to eating, sleeping, and intimacy.

Her approach is warm and straightforward, aiming to listen first and help people build practical skills they can use every day.

Background and approach

She uses person-centered methods that put the client’s perspective at the center of the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for addressing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Trauma-focused methods guide work with trauma histories and abuse when those issues are present.

Angela brings experience with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, domestic violence, family of origin issues, and caregiver stress. She pays attention to how cultural messages and family systems shape coping strategies, and she helps people replace harmful patterns with kinder, more effective responses.

Her background includes qualitative research into women and gender roles, which informs how she thinks about expectations and identity. Angela emphasizes self-compassion while teaching concrete communication and relational skills. She aims to meet people where they are and tailor therapy to individual needs.

Sessions may include problem-solving, skill building, and processing past hurt. The focus is on realistic steps that support daily life and relationships.

How her approaches work online

Angela uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person in front of her. That means sessions begin with listening and understanding the client’s experience. This approach helps with building trust, exploring identity, and improving self-compassion.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which targets thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful routines like sleep or eating disruptions.

Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Angela will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as needed. The plan is collaborative so clients have a say in what feels most helpful for them.

Online sessions offer flexibility across different formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people choose what fits their schedule and comfort level while keeping continuity of care. For many, the variety makes it easier to attend regularly and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what’s needed.

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.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
