About Angela

Angela Harmon is an OR LPC and WA LMHC with 13 years of clinical practice in Washington. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and a range of other concerns. Angela speaks English and uses practical therapy methods to help people manage day-to-day difficulties.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are part of her work, with a focus on values and small actions that align with what matters to each person. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when people need emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or clearer communication tools.

Her approach includes paying attention to how stress and trauma affect the body, and how physical responses can keep problems going. She will often combine breathing, grounding, and movement-based strategies with thought work. The goal is less about labels and more about practical steps people can use between sessions.

Angela also supports people navigating sexuality and relationship structures, including polyamory and kink when those issues come up. She helps parents and caregivers manage role strain and blended family challenges without assuming a single solution.

Sessions emphasize straightforward skill building, problem-focused discussion, and planning for real-life situations. New clients follow a brief intake and schedule a first meeting to begin setting goals.

How sessions work

How Angela’s approaches translate to online work

Angela integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to change patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and body-based skills to notice stress and interrupt automatic reactions.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when needed, such as concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage intense moments. These methods are practical and teachable in conversation and short exercises clients can practice at home or during breaks.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest a combination of methods to try. Sessions include skill practice, short between-session assignments, and regular review to see what fits best.

The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during workday breaks or quieter evenings. It also supports using in-the-moment tools at home, such as breathing or grounding exercises, so what is learned in a session can be applied right away.
