Angela Bellinghausen , LPC, LIMHP

Angela Bellinghausen is a licensed counselor with three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and women’s issues. She focuses on practical skills that make daily life easier. Conversations are down-to-earth and goal-oriented so clients can see small changes that add up over time.

In sessions she uses clear, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to reduce symptoms and improve coping. Angela also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas to help people define what matters to them and take steps toward it. Her toolbox includes strategies for sleep, cravings, and panic when those come up.

She aims to help clients strengthen self-worth and handle life transitions with steadier balance. That can mean learning new ways to manage shame, process grief, or rebuild routine after loss. Angela pays attention to body image concerns, eating-related struggles, isolation, and the stresses that come with aging.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. Clients set priorities and she offers skills, feedback, and actions to try between sessions. Over time the work blends problem-solving with values-based choices so people can move toward the life they want.

Angela practices in Colorado as an LPC and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, LIMHP. She communicates in plain language and keeps sessions focused on what will help most in day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online care

Angela uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems. Sessions often include concrete exercises and homework that can be reviewed during video or phone meetings.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take committed actions even when unpleasant feelings are present. That work focuses on building a life that matters to the client rather than chasing symptom elimination alone.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angela collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and day-to-day needs, and she adjusts techniques as progress is tracked. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills training, mindfulness, or values-based work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video can support face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
