Practitioner record · Checked 5 Nov 2026
Angel Coleman-Graves has been in practice 5 years and is licensed in Missouri. Angel lists stress, Anxiety, trauma and abuse and self esteem among 24 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Angel's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Angel works with
Angel lists 5 specialisms and 19 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Angel chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Angel's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who enjoys helping people navigate life's challenges, unexpected changes, and those moments when things just don't feel quite right. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, and significant life transitions.
I have a particular passion for women's mental health and supporting individuals through the different stages and transitions of life. I also welcome both men and women navigating cancer treatment and survivorship, an area especially meaningful to me as a breast cancer survivor.
My approach is compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental, but I'm also honest and direct. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be yourself, feel heard, and explore what's happening in your life without fear of judgment. I'll meet you where you are, but I'll also encourage self-reflection, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge patterns or coping strategies that may no longer be serving you.
I draw from several therapeutic approaches, including CBT, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and DBT-informed skills, tailoring our work to your individual needs and goals. I believe in balancing compassion with accountability, while respecting that you get to decide what growth and change look like for you.
I'm not here to tell you who you should be or how to live your life. I'm here to understand who you are, support who you want to become, and help you explore how to get there. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin right where you are.

03 · What happens next
Angel practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Angel's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Angel at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Angel is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Angel.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Angel actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Angel's - Angel has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Angel's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 5 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Angel. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
