Angelique Gettle, LMFT

Angelique Gettle is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with more than 25 years of clinical experience. She has worked with a diverse range of clients and specializes in trauma, PTSD, women's issues, grief, addictions, and attachment-related disorders, helping individuals and families navigate complex emotional and relational challenges.

Her practice blends several therapeutic traditions to meet each client's unique needs. Angelique draws on humanistic and dynamic perspectives that emphasize respect, empathy, and the individual's lived experience, while also incorporating rational-emotive ideas and Minuchin's Structural family approach to address interaction patterns and family systems. In addition, she integrates creative modalities such as art therapy and animal-assisted interventions when appropriate to support expression and healing.

Clients can expect a warm, interactive counseling style grounded in sensitivity and compassion. Angelique focuses on empowering people to explore their feelings, rebuild connections, and develop practical coping strategies for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She welcomes those ready to take steps toward change and offers supportive guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Angelique often uses attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust; this approach can help people address abandonment, attachment wounds, and intimacy-related issues by focusing on emotional bonds and safety. She also practices client-centered therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance that helps clients feel heard and supported as they set goals and discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angelique collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adapts her approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Angelique is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations, or those who prefer remote sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
