Angelique Gettle, LMFT
Calm, practical therapy for relationship and trauma concerns
About Angelique
Angelique Gettle is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and addiction. She brings 25 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on relationship and intimacy-related issues as well as compassion fatigue and self-esteem concerns.
Background and approach
Her style is warm, interactive, and respectful. Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth.
She listens first to understand what feels most pressing, then offers tools that fit each person’s life. Angelique uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, and existential ideas.
In practice this can mean noticing patterns in relationships, addressing thoughts that fuel anxiety, and naming the emotions that get in the way of connection. She also brings experience working with blended family challenges, family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment struggles, codependency, domestic violence impacts, and caregiver stress.
Those topics often link with substance use, communication problems, body image worries, and feelings of emptiness. Angelique works with people in California and provides sessions in English.
Her background includes integrating humanistic and dynamic perspectives, with practical exercises and focused conversation to help people make steady changes. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire to match with a therapist and schedule sessions that fit their needs.
Sessions use a cancellable subscription model and can be scheduled according to therapist availability.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape reactions and safety in close connections. Online sessions can help people notice patterns from past relationships and practice new ways of relating through guided conversation and reflection.Client-centered therapy centers on listening and building a nonjudgmental space where people name their own goals. In remote sessions this can be simple talk therapy that helps clients sort feelings, make choices, and feel understood without a lot of jargon.
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Video or phone sessions work well for practicing coping skills, setting small experiments, and reviewing progress between meetings.
Finding 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 and adjust as those needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and surroundings permit. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send updates or work through small steps between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into their schedules while keeping focus on the issues they want to address.
