About Angelique

Angelique Gettle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, low self esteem, relationship and family concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to offer respectful, sensitive support as people work through hard moments.

She brings a human-centered, relational approach to therapy that emphasizes connection and personal meaning. Sessions focus on building trust, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing different ways of thinking and relating. Angelique blends talk therapy with creative tools when helpful, such as art-based activities and working with therapy animals.

Her background includes long experience in marriage and family therapy in California and many years helping people navigate attachment issues, abandonment wounds, and blended family stress. She draws on methods that look at how relationships shape behavior and emotions while also addressing practical coping skills.

Angelique uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused methods to address close relationship struggles and self-worth concerns. She also incorporates existential themes when people wrestle with meaning and life transitions.

If someone is ready to begin, the process usually starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. The subscription format for sessions can be canceled at any time; confirm current session options before booking.

How different approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships affect emotion and behavior. It helps people understand patterns of closeness and distance, and supports repairing trust and connection in important relationships.

Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own experience. The therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and careful listening so clients can explore feelings, clarify values, and make choices that feel right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking, manage anxiety, and build coping habits for everyday stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow therapy to happen from places that are convenient. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that regular virtual sessions help them practice skills between meetings and keep steady progress while balancing work and family demands.
