More about me

Licensing: MA, LPC Years in Practice: 9 State: Oklahoma

I am a professional counselor licensed in the State of Oklahoma with over 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, in outpatient settings; such as in office, homes, and schools. I view counseling as much more than a vocation-- but as a purpose and calling; and I also thoroughly enjoy the variety and challenge that navigating through Clients' situations can bring.

I have treated (and continue to work with) Clients of a wide--range of demographics; with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety/panic, self-esteem, relationship communication and intimacy issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I have worked with many people who have struggled with issues in divorce, as well as emotional and/or narcissistic abuse. I have had experience in working in a domestic violence offenders’ group counseling setting, as well.

My counseling style is warm, accepting, and intuitive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, empathy, and compassion, as I work to emphasize my clients’ strengths and abilities. My approach combines a Person-Centered/ Motivational Interviewing; cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, existential, family systems, as applicable. I will tailor our sessions to your needs; as we can also work together to form a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific goals.

I further subscribe to the belief in the role of the therapist which is to 'draw out', or to motivate, to support, to encourage; to provide knowledge of psychotherapeutic tools, thought constructs, as well as ideas and resources, to augment a client's mental/ behavioral health/ relationship communication.

In beginning your process of change, empowerment, and self-love discovery today; I invite you; my future valued client--to walk alongside you; on any stage of your journey.

Looking Onward and Upward,

Angela Alderman-Shotton, LPC

“The paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.”

~ Psychologist Carl Rogers

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Appreciate that she is giving me steps/goals to work on

Angela has been an amazing support. She offers great insight and guidance to help me make my own discernments and decisions. I don’t feel judged or demeaned. She listens and provides feedback when necessary.

So lovely to talk to and extremely understanding!

Angela listens carefully and recommends resources to help me in my struggle. I appreciate her respect for a “Christian worldview” and I look forward to becoming healthy and strong in my Christian faith.

Angela totally gets me i totally feel comfortable with her and totally understanding person and looking fwd for her help in helping me to grow and better myself

Angela is doing an outstanding job. She is compassionate, caring, and concerned. She replies to my msgs in a very timely manner, offering great hope and encouragement. I heartily recommend Angela!

Angela has been instrumental in supporting me as I've taken a more concerted and intentional look at my well-being overall. Her active listening skills, attentiveness, and constructive insights have made it possible for me to finally engage and sustain therapy, which at once had been an utterly daunting prospect, fraught with doubt and discomfort. I would recommend anyone to meet with and engage her, in order to get started on their own path toward a better self!

Angela has been my therapist for a little over 4 months now and I can safely say that I highly recommend her! She is incredibly kind, understanding, and patient, she has been absolutely helpful to me and through her effort I actually feel like things in my life are starting to get better. I was hesitant to even try therapy at first and doubted I would see it through, but her friendly and supportive nature wiped away that trepidation. I'm so grateful to betterhelp for setting me up as one of her clients!

Angela is simply fantastic! I couldn't ask for a better councilor!

Angela is very compassionate and is eager to listen to what I feel I have to say, and offers her unique insight to help me understand why I might feel or think the way I do. I find myself looking forward to continuing this journey with her and seeing it through.

Angela has helped me get through a difficult period in my life and I am grateful for it! I would recommend her to anyone!

A very nice person super helpful and listened to me which is helpfull

100% recommended

Angela always has compassion and gives great insight on any issues I have. She makes me feel heard and seen. I feel super comfortable with telling her anything.

Very responsive!

Angela has been extremely helpful in listening and reflecting on not only my concerns and worries, but in the positive steps I am taking forward in life.

Great listener and gets me. She has good insight and shares perspectives I may not have thought about.

Better help is a God send

Angela has done an excellent job helping me work through my anxiety and depression as a COVID-19 ICU nurse. BetterHelp and Angela has been a great resource for me during these hard times for every one and I feel like I am able to cope significantly better!

Angela has helped me put past traumas in perspective to positively move forward and make plans that are informed by past tragedies, but not diminished by them.

After changing few counselors, finally I met Angela. I was impressed with her profile even she has less year experience that others I booked. She is very good listener and funny at the same time. I feel like I'm sharing with a sister. She is very responsive also. Quick reply and kind. Most of all, she can see my problems quickly and send me many useful worksheets that work on me. I can use those worksheets in the long run to self-development later, not one time use. If you are very sensitive and facing relationship issue (plus anger management), Angela is great one! Thanks to her for helping my relationship with husband becomes better. I made right decision to reach BetterHelp.

She’s great. Very good listener.

I really appreciate Angela willingness to understand me

amazing!!!

Angela is a wonderful counselor who helped me through a difficult time. She was able to help me see things from different angles than I had before while remaining sensitive to my feelings. She also has a great sense of humor!

Angela is a great counselor! She listens and is very encouraging, and she was very quick to learn my personal goals and "style" so I really feel understood. I highly recommend her!

She’s amazing. I love that she listens and encourages me. She’s always giving me exercises to practice and helping me explore new ways to calm my anxiety. She is truly amazing. 10/10 recommend.

Angela's been very helpful and supportive when navigating the issues of stress and depression that the pandemic has exposed in my life.

Angela is a wonderful therapist who's helped me through one of the toughest seasons of my life. I've been dealing with family conflict as well as anxiety and depression; I'm still working through it all and I'm SO grateful to have her support. Angela is highly skilled and weaves together different modalities and styles to match my needs, which vary between sessions depending on what I'm going through. She's an incredible listener, hearing the content of what I say but also the feelings underneath and always tending to- and helping me to tend to- both. She helps me have objectivity about my thoughts and feelings, but in a graceful and warm way, cultivating self-compassion rather than condemnation. I come away from sessions energized to do my inner work and feeling so supported. Insightful, thoughtful, well-versed, and dedicated :)

She's amazing, supportive and knowledgable! Very relieved to be going through therapy with her!

Thank you for your knowledgeable and wonderful support

Angela has been there at unexpected times and always tries to accommodate if possible. Our sessions are helpful and I feel understood and able to cope better afterwards

While my time with her is nesring an end, she has been wonderful in helping me reach my goal of self acceptance. I'm grateful for her support and insight. She made my path to healing so much easier!

Angela has been great to speak with and the conversations truly helped me during very difficult times.

Angela has been a wonderful counselor for me to work with. She actually helped me get a clearer perspective on some things I was dealing with during one of the worse moments of my life. And instead of the circumstances destroying and leaving me hopeless, I'm stronger and more clear minded. She's very sweet, compassionate, knowledgeable and is always full of resources to help me get better. She's also very responsive, open and finds ways to encourage me through out the week. If you're thinking about working with her, just do it. You'll be glad you do. She's a wonderful person to work with.

Angela is incredibly supportive! She helps you understand the things that are doing on around you to better understand why you are responding to them they way you are. Would recommend 100%

Angela is very kind and calming, and I appreciate her questions and listening ear.

Angela has helped me gain control of my stressors that have been causing me anxiety. She talks me though different strategies and helps me cope in different ways. She offers a lot of resources too!

Angela is one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. She actually takes the time to listen to you and provides thoughtful feedback. So many therapists tend to try to label you and fit you into a neat little box after a short session in which the therapist talks 80% of the time. You can’t truly understand a person this way. Thankfully Angela takes the time to try to get to know you.

She is amazing. She listens and helps me work threw my issues. She is very supportive I have nothing but good things to say.

I love this experience! It has helped me in many ways. I have started some new healthy habits and am quitting some that are not so good. I have already recommended BetterHelp to many friends!
