Angelique Gettle , LMFT

Angelique Gettle is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 25 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of people. She has spent decades supporting individuals and families dealing with trauma, PTSD, women's issues, grief, addictions, and attachment-related challenges, and she incorporates art therapy and animal-assisted techniques into her clinical work when appropriate.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion for each person’s unique perspective and life experience. She blends humanistic and dynamic approaches with rational-emotive techniques and elements of Minuchin’s structural family therapy to tailor treatment to the particular needs of the individual or family.

Angelique focuses on relationship and family dynamics, coping with loss and life changes, stress and anxiety, and concerns such as codependency and substance-related problems. She centers listening, support, and empowerment in the therapeutic process and works to create an environment where people can take courageous steps toward change.

Attachment-informed and action-oriented care available online

Angelique draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses; this approach can help with abandonment concerns, intimacy issues, and long-standing attachment patterns. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an empathic, nonjudgmental space that supports personal growth and self-exploration, which is often helpful for grief, identity questions, and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress and to strengthen coping skills.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Angelique works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online sessions can make that collaboration easier to maintain across different life demands.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, her online options provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, or mobility limits. These formats help clients access ongoing support, try different session styles, and fit therapy into their everyday lives.
