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, low self-esteem, addiction, relationship and family problems, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and related struggles.

Her sessions are conversational and interactive. She draws on client-centered ideas to listen closely and help people name what is most painful. She uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when practical steps or reframing can reduce symptoms.

Angelique brings a long history of work with trauma, PTSD, women’s issues, grief, and addictions. She has incorporated expressive supports such as art and animal-assisted elements into her practice where helpful. Her background includes approaches that focus on feelings and relationships as well as techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

In session she tends to blend relational discussion with concrete skills. That may mean talking through relationship patterns, practicing new ways to communicate, or identifying small behavior changes that shift day-to-day stress. She also attends to identity and meaning using existential ideas when people face loss or big life transitions.

People who choose her can expect straightforward, steady work on the problems named above. To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of trust and closeness. Online sessions can be used to name those patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes careful listening and reflection so clients feel understood; online conversations can focus on the thoughts and feelings a person brings and on making meaning from them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical techniques that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, or shift unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help the person decide which ideas and techniques fit their needs and goals. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches depending on what is most useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins during breaks. Some formats also make it simpler to use materials for CBT exercises or to continue art-based work between meetings. Discuss practical preferences when scheduling so sessions can fit into your everyday life.
