About Angela
Angela Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She has 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Angela emphasizes a respectful, down-to-earth approach that meets people where they are.
She aims to help clients take practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier routines. Her work often focuses on coping strategies for anxiety and panic, substance use concerns, and the emotional fallout from trauma and loss.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing relationship tension, career shifts, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem or body image. Angela pays attention to how daily habits affect mood and functioning. Therapy sessions are collaborative.
Angela listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. She draws on tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Emotion-focused methods are used when relationships and attachment needs are central to the issue.
Angela adapts plans to each person’s situation instead of using one-size-fits-all solutions. She uses motivational strategies to help with substance use and behavior change. When life feels overwhelming, she helps people break problems into manageable steps and build skills to handle future stressors.
People who want practical, steady support tend to do well with her style. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and avoiding stigmatizing labels. If someone is ready to start making changes, she offers guidance, encouragement, and tools to move forward.
How Angela’s Approaches Come Alive Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies what matters most in life. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and persistent worries that stop someone from acting on their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which is helpful for panic attacks, depression, and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses in relationships and teaches ways to communicate needs and repair connection when that is part of the concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Angela collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She may combine techniques when helpful and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds, so clients help set priorities and decide which tools to try.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they prefer that interaction. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing contact between sessions and can fit around busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities.
