About Angelique
Angelique Gettle is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and relationship concerns. She works with adults who are struggling with self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing family problems, attachment and abandonment issues, and challenges linked to substance use.
Her counseling style is warm and interactive. Sessions are respectful and focused on the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She listens first, then offers ways to practice new thoughts and behaviors between meetings. Angelique draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses attachment-based ideas to map relationship patterns and emotionally focused work to improve connection and communication.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thinking that fuels anxiety and depression. Over her career she has worked with a variety of life situations, including caregiver stress, blended family issues, and co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns. She mentions using expressive tools such as art and animal-assisted strategies when they fit a person’s goals.
Her training is reflected in the LMFT credential. Angelique practices in California and offers help in English. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages people to take the first step toward change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Angelique uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. This approach helps people who struggle with intimacy, abandonment worries, or repeated relationship conflicts by mapping patterns and trying new ways of relating.She also uses client-centered methods that place the person's experience at the center of sessions. That means listening with empathy, reflecting what is heard, and helping people find their own answers instead of imposing solutions. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used alongside these approaches to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Angelique collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers a few practical benefits for this work. Video calls let visual cues and emotional expression guide attachment and emotionally focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief reflections, journaling prompts, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
