About Angela
Angela Murphy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Idaho with six years of clinical experience. She listens first and helps people find practical ways to manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Angela focuses on helping people develop healthier coping habits and grow self-compassion as they face life changes.
She draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals in focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused approaches guide work when past harm affects present-day reactions and relationships. Angela has worked with individuals who experienced trauma and has studied religious and attachment-related issues. That background informs how she looks at the roots of coping patterns, including how family and cultural messages shape behavior.
Her training also includes qualitative research from a doctoral certificate program, which contributes to a thoughtful, reflective practice. In sessions she offers a collaborative tone and straightforward skills practice. Conversations move between exploring what matters to the person and trying out concrete strategies for managing emotions, sleep, or addictive urges.
The aim is steady progress through small, usable changes. People choosing to work together can expect an individualized plan that combines listening, skill-building, and ongoing adjustment. Angela emphasizes self-compassion while helping clients build stronger relational skills and a better relationship with their inner life.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what matters most, and helps people clarify goals and values. This approach supports work on relationship patterns, self-esteem, and day-to-day stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. It is practical for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood shifts because it pairs clear exercises with real-world homework. Trauma-Focused Therapy gently addresses past harm and its effects on current reactions, supporting recovery from abuse, sexual assault, or other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, personal needs, and preferences, then tailor methods so sessions feel useful. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging are useful for short updates, coping tools between sessions, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working to find what helps most.
