Angelica Washington, LPCC, LMHC

Angelica Washington is a Florida-based clinician who has spent four years guiding people through stress, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, LGBTQ+ concerns, motivation and self-esteem struggles, and bipolar disorder. She has worked with stressors related to active duty military service and emergency medical services, helping clients manage the specific pressures those roles can bring. Angelica holds LPCC and LMHC credentials - LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and brings that clinical training to each therapeutic relationship.

Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with a focus on tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s circumstances. She prioritizes collaborative care, adapting therapeutic style and goals to match individual needs, whether someone seeks short-term problem solving or longer-term support. Angelica aims to create a space where people can explore identity, coping strategies, and emotional regulation while building confidence and motivation.

Taking a first step toward change can feel difficult, and Angelica offers guided support through that process. She works with clients to identify practical steps and emotional resources, supporting them throughout treatment so they can pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Approaches that inform online care and how they help

Angelica draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own perspective and personal values, creating a collaborative space where self-esteem, identity, and motivation can be explored at the client’s pace. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for addressing anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties by developing practical skills and new ways of responding.

DBT brings tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help people manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping. Together these approaches allow for flexibility - techniques and goals can be blended to meet specific concerns such as trauma, bipolar mood management, or relationship and identity issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Angelica works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. Online therapy with a licensed therapist offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage mobility or geographic limits, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
