About Angela
Angela Whitecrane Widdicombe is a licensed clinical social worker and a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Montana with 30 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
She uses clear, practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work. Angela focuses on what people do day to day and offers strategies to change patterns that cause pain.
Her background includes long-term work in clinical social work settings, supporting foster children, homeless veterans, and people with addictions. Those roles shaped a practice that attends to trauma, poverty, and the effects of violence. She draws on decades of direct clinical experience when planning care with a client.
In sessions she listens and helps people sort out practical next steps. She uses client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to strengthen connection and communication. That often means building small habits, testing new responses, and talking through difficult feelings.
People who come to her often want concrete tools for managing symptoms and clearer ways to handle relationships. Angela aims to help people try different approaches and see what leads to more manageable days. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to change outcomes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addiction-related habits. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-driven action, useful for people trying to live around difficult feelings rather than getting stuck by them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy and relationship problems.Choosing the right method is part of the process. Angela works collaboratively to figure out which approaches fit a person’s goals and preferences. She will discuss what to try first and adjust the plan based on how a client responds over several sessions.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are available, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helpful to practice CBT or ACT skills between sessions and then review what worked during the next meeting with a licensed professional.
