About Angelique

Angelique Gettle is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She has focused her work on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and a range of relationship and intimacy-related concerns, drawing on years of practical practice to guide people through complex emotional and life transitions. Her style is warm, interactive, and respectful, emphasizing sensitivity to each person's unique history and perspective.

Angelique blends cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-based and client-centered ideas to help clients clarify patterns, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional connections. She also incorporates elements of emotionally-focused and existential approaches when they suit a client’s goals.

Angelique’s practice addresses additional challenges such as abandonment and attachment issues, family of origin problems, codependency, communication difficulties, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and substance-related issues. English-speaking clients in California can work with her using a variety of session formats to find a rhythm that fits their life and needs.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work

Angelique draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges. Attachment-based therapy is used to explore relational patterns and early connection issues, helping clients improve emotional bonds and understand their responses in intimate relationships. Client-centered therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities to build trust and self-directed growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Angelique works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust the mix of approaches as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with her is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and can reduce travel time. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home or other locations, making it easier to maintain consistent sessions while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
