About Angela
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience, Angela Totman focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She previously worked mainly as a school counselor and now applies that background to help people across different life stages. Sessions are conducted in English and draw on practical, evidence-based methods.
Angela uses straightforward therapeutic tools to help clients manage emotional strain and improve daily functioning. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build better thinking habits. Solution-Focused Therapy and psychoeducation are used to set concrete goals and teach skills people can use between sessions.
Her two decades in education gave her experience with children, adolescents, and adults, especially around grief, crisis response, suicide prevention and postvention, and self-esteem work. That background informs how she approaches short-term interventions and safety-focused conversations when needed. Trauma-informed practices guide how she responds to distress.
In sessions she aims for a collaborative style that emphasizes practical coping skills and measurable steps. Conversations often include skill practice, problem-solving, and short homework tasks to reinforce progress. She helps people clarify values, improve communication, and address workplace or young adult challenges when they come up.
Outside clinical work she enjoys running, being in nature, reading, and time with family. Her training includes a Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and the LPC credential is held in Texas.

Approach and what online sessions involve
Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. This method is common for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems because it focuses on practical skills and short-term change. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy is another approach she uses to identify rigid beliefs and replace them with more flexible thinking that reduces emotional distress. Solution-Focused Therapy helps clients build on strengths and set small, achievable goals to create forward momentum.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means techniques and session tasks can shift as progress and priorities change.
The biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another format. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between major life events. Therapists often adapt exercises and brief homework to fit the practicalities of people’s daily routines.
