About Angela
Angela Murphy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or dealing with depression. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and issues related to adoption and foster care.
Angela listens closely and aims to come alongside each person. Sessions emphasize practical skill building and clearer ways to cope with strong emotions like anger, shame, or fear. She works with people who struggle with sleep, eating concerns, intimacy issues, or low self-esteem.
Her approach is person-centered and tailored to each individual. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Trauma-focused methods inform work with people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events.
Angela brings experience understanding how family, culture, and gender roles shape coping habits. That background helps her identify roots of patterns that no longer serve a person and teach kinder, more effective ways of responding. She emphasizes self-compassion while teaching new skills.
People meet a clinician who values ongoing learning and practical tools. Sessions aim to strengthen relational skills, including how someone relates to their own inner life. The focus is on honest listening, shared planning, and steady steps toward clearer coping.
How Angela’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they name goals and try new ways of coping. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences, with steps to improve safety, emotion regulation, and daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift, and sessions are adjusted to focus on what helps most in everyday life.
