About Angela

Angela Murphy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of experience who practices with a focus on supporting women. She is licensed as a counselor in Idaho and Arizona and has training as a certified clinical trauma professional, which informs her work with survivors and those coping with complex histories.

Earlier in her career she counseled diverse children who had experienced trauma; for more than two years she has concentrated her clinical practice on the needs of women. She also brings familiarity with religious trauma and the ways faith and belief systems can shape a person’s experience of harm and healing. In addition to clinical training, she completed a doctoral certificate that developed her skills in qualitative research, and her roles as a woman, daughter, wife, and mother shaped her research interest in women and gender roles.

Angela explores how coping strategies that once helped a person survive can become barriers over time, often rooted in cultural and family messaging, trauma, or abuse. She supports clients in learning new coping skills with an emphasis on self-compassion. Her work is person-centered and eclectic, adapted to each individual’s needs, and she emphasizes building relational skills, including how to relate to one’s own inner self.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angela Murphy integrates client-centered therapy and trauma-focused therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are; it helps clients explore their feelings and build self-understanding at their own pace. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on acknowledging and processing traumatic experiences, offering strategies to reduce the ways trauma influences daily life and relationships. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms and stress.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances change, inviting clients to be active partners in planning care.



Online therapy with Angela is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives while maintaining the focus on effective, individualized care.
