Angelique Gettle, LMFT

Angelique Gettle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable.

She approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions focus on understanding how thoughts and everyday habits shape feelings and behavior. She blends humanistic and dynamic ideas with practical tools drawn from cognitive and emotionally-focused approaches. That means clients can expect listening, reflective questions, and exercises to try between sessions.

Angelique has worked with a wide range of challenges including attachment issues, abandonment feelings, blended family problems, caregiver stress, codependency, and body image concerns. She also brings experience supporting people facing domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and co-occurring conditions. Her background includes using art-based and animal-assisted activities alongside talk therapy when appropriate.

Therapy with her often includes talking through patterns from family of origin and current relationships, learning skills to manage anxiety and cravings, and experimenting with small behavior changes. She offers space to process grief and trauma while tracking practical steps forward. The emphasis is on collaboration and on making steady, usable progress.

Angelique practices in California as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She works in English and is focused on helping individuals who want thoughtful, experience-based support for long-standing and recent life challenges.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It helps people notice how they seek closeness or push it away and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person receiving help, using empathic listening and acceptance to support self-directed change. It suits people who need a judgment-free space to sort out feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, habits, and emotions and offers concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and habits tied to addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can involve trying different techniques and adjusting the focus as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break, or counseling can be done from a quieter location without travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use conversational sessions, skill-building exercises, and homework that translate well to remote meetings. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday routines while focusing on thoughts and everyday habits.
