Angela Totman

Angela Totman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 20 years of experience. She spent much of that time working in education as a school counselor. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes among the concerns she addresses.

Angela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She also applies Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and psychoeducation when helpful. Her practice includes grief and crisis counseling, suicide prevention and postvention, and work on self-esteem using trauma-informed care practices.

Her background in schools means she has regular experience talking with children, adolescents, and adults about school and life transitions. She focuses on helping people develop coping skills, resilience, and practical strategies for day-to-day problems. That experience shapes how she approaches conversations about workplace stress, isolation, and communication problems.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on concrete steps people can try between meetings. She describes working to repair past wounds while helping clients set realistic goals. This includes attention to self-love, life purpose, and practical ways to improve relationships and workplace dynamics.

Outside of work she enjoys running, nature, reading, and family time. Her counseling style reflects two decades of school-based practice and a preference for methods that produce measurable change.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes small, practical steps and achievable goals to move forward quickly. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy appears in her toolkit as well and focuses on identifying and disputing rigid beliefs that increase emotional distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques over time and focusing on what produces useful changes in daily life.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work or school commitments, shorten commute time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity through life changes, and a licensed professional will discuss practical scheduling and session length to match real-world constraints.
