Angelica Moreno, LMFT

Angelica Moreno is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and trauma and abuse. Angelica also addresses family of origin issues and related patterns that can keep people stuck in old roles or repeating familiar dynamics.

She takes a practical, human-focused approach. Sessions involve talking through current problems and the family patterns that influence them. She uses evidence-based tools alongside creative and body-centered practices to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations connect.

Angelica often blends techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking and from dialectical-inspired skills to manage intense emotions. She also brings in art-based and somatic practices to help people access nonverbal material and bodily responses that words alone may miss. These methods are used to address relationships, grief, and the long-term effects of earlier wounds.

In the room she prioritizes clear, concrete steps clients can try between sessions. This can include small behavioral experiments, communication practice, or brief somatic exercises to reduce tension. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s readiness.

Angelica sees patterns that trace back to childhood and family of origin issues as a common source of recurring problems. She helps people map those patterns, test new ways of relating, and build routines that reduce reactivity and increase choice in how they respond to stress.
