About Angelique
Angelique Gettle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and issues tied to attachment and intimacy. She also addresses compassion fatigue and problems that spring from family of origin patterns.
Her sessions are conversational and interactive. She combines client-centered listening with approaches that look at how relationships shape behavior. She uses techniques from attachment-focused work, emotionally-focused methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and existential perspectives to help people understand patterns that repeat across relationships.
Angelique has long experience helping people facing life transitions and complicated grief. She also supports those dealing with substance use concerns, domestic violence histories, and co-occurring mental health challenges. She pays attention to how abandonment, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and family roles affect daily life.
In practice she helps clients notice automatic thoughts and relationship responses, then tries different ways of responding. Sessions may include talking through past family roles, practicing new communication moves, and exploring personal values and meaning. Her work often focuses on improving emotional connection and clearer self-understanding.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered from California. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people notice impulses tied to those early roles, which can be useful for family of origin concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and on improving how people express needs and respond to each other.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will pick methods and adjust them as understanding grows, making changes as needed rather than committing to a single technique up front.
The therapist's session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can fit into busy schedules by reducing travel time and allowing shorter or more regular check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote sessions because they rely on conversation, short exercises, and homework between meetings. Discussing how sessions will be scheduled and what to expect in structure is part of the first appointment so sessions can be arranged around everyday life.
