About Angelique

Angelique Lawrence is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings two decades of experience to her work. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She offers straightforward conversations that help clients identify what matters and what gets in the way. Sessions emphasize clear steps, emotion work, and skills-building so people can manage everyday pressures and feel more connected in their relationships.

Lawrence blends approaches that suit each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thoughts.

She draws on emotionally-focused techniques to help partners and individuals name and shift painful patterns. Her background includes counseling around trauma, grief, addictions, and complex relationship concerns such as infidelity, polyamory, and blended family stress.

She also supports those coping with caregiving strain, career shifts, and questions about life purpose. Clients can expect a warm, interactive style that aims to be respectful and nonjudgmental.

Sessions are tailored to what each person brings into the room, with practical tools and a focus on real-life changes. She is licensed in Virginia as an LMFT and works with English-speaking clients, including those outside the United States.

To begin, people often start with a short intake to identify goals and preferred approaches. From there, she and each client set a pace and plan that fits their situation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, life transitions, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional patterns in relationships and helps partners or individuals shift how they respond to one another to build safety and connection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what works for the person or couple.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation for deeper work and relationship sessions. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, use brief tools, or get steady coaching when a full call is not needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules and keep continuity across locations.
