About Angelique

Angelique Gettle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses codependency, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related problems.

Her sessions are conversational and interactive. She uses a blend of approaches to fit what each person needs in the room. Clients can expect practical talk, reflection on relationship patterns, and tools to manage thoughts and feelings.

Angelique draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses client-centered skills to listen and follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build different responses.

She also brings elements of emotionally-focused work and existential thinking to help people name emotions and find meaning in difficult experiences. Her background includes work with trauma, PTSD, and addictions, and she has used art and animal-assisted activities in clinical settings.

Sessions focus on concrete changes such as clearer boundaries, better communication, and coping strategies for intense emotions. People who struggle with people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, or feeling emptied by caregiving often explore those patterns here. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's booking steps to match and schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. Online sessions can use conversation to trace how early bonds influence current behavior and to practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and pacing. That approach helps shape sessions around the issues the client brings and encourages reflection and self-directed goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and uses concrete exercises. In an online setting, CBT tools can include thought records, behavior experiments, and brief between-session tasks that are easy to share and review.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as sessions progress.

This profile does not list specific session formats. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to use worksheets and written exercises between meetings to reinforce what was discussed in session.
