About Angelique

Angelique Gettle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, self-esteem problems, intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue.

Her work is conversational and direct. She listens to what is happening in daily life and helps people name patterns that cause pain. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of relating rather than abstract theory. She uses approaches that look at how attachment and relationships shape feelings and behavior.

Angelique blends client-centered and attachment-informed work with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally focused ideas. That mix supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, blended family challenges, family of origin problems, and communication struggles. She also addresses caregiver stress, body image, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and co-occurring substance issues.

Her approach can include conversations about how past relationships affect present ones and small, concrete experiments to try between sessions. She may use reflective listening, behavior-based tasks, and emotion-focused interventions to help people notice and shift long-standing patterns. The goal is clearer thinking and more manageable steps in everyday life.

People who want to begin can expect a straightforward first session that maps concerns and priorities. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, use the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Angelique uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now, and it helps when someone struggles with abandonment, attachment, or relationship patterns. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and reflecting what feels most important, helping people clarify their goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral methods address specific thoughts and behaviors, offering practical exercises to try between sessions and ways to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped or not helped before, and then try approaches that fit those needs. Decisions about methods are collaborative and adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household by removing travel time, letting people schedule shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into everyday life while the therapist and client focus on step-by-step change.
