Angela Harmon , LPC, LMHC

Angela Harmon is a licensed professional counselor with 13 years of experience. She centers sessions on practical skills and steady support to help people find their own sense of worth. Angela works with issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress while respecting each person’s pace and story.

Her approach blends straightforward cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. She pays attention to how stress and trauma show up in the body and uses that information to shape sessions. Conversations focus on clear tools people can use between appointments to feel more grounded and calm.

Angela also supports people navigating identity and relationship questions, including LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, and non-traditional relationship structures. She helps parents manage the strain of caregiving and supports people facing career stress, sleep problems, or burnout. She also addresses mood conditions such as bipolar disorder and postpartum depression.

Over time she adds skills from dialectical behavior therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns or emotion regulation need more targeted work. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, measurable changes. Angela describes therapy as a partnership built on honest conversation and practical steps.

Clients meet with Angela remotely from Washington in English. She is credentialed as an LPC and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. Those interested begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Angela commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting hard feelings. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and relationship stability when intense emotions or self-directed distress are present. DBT offers concrete tools for managing overwhelming feelings and improving communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals and try methods that feel useful, adjusting the plan over time. Clients and therapist decide together whether more mindfulness, skills training, or relationship work is needed.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice new communication skills in real time. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when a video connection is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, and ongoing reminders to use new skills. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between appointments.
