Angelique Gettle, LMFT

Angelique Gettle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Her manner is warm and interactive, aimed at helping people feel heard and respected in session.

Her work focuses on attachment and relationships, and she uses several approaches to meet different needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change stressful thinking and emotionally-focused methods to strengthen connection and emotional awareness.

Angelique describes her style as humanistic and dynamic. Sessions tend to be interactive conversations where the therapist listens, reflects, and offers practical strategies. She also incorporates expressive methods such as art-related activities and animal-assisted work when appropriate.

Her background includes long experience with trauma, PTSD, grief, and addictions, and she has worked with many adults navigating life transitions and intimacy-related worries. She emphasizes sensitivity, respect, and compassion while exploring family of origin issues, attachment wounds, and communication patterns.

People who choose her often want an empathetic therapist who offers both emotional support and concrete tools. To begin, clients complete a matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The therapist uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How attachment and CBT translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current bonds and emotional reactions. Online sessions can focus on patterns in relationships, exploring attachment needs and steps to feel more secure in close connections.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying stressful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. In remote sessions this often means setting small behavioral tasks between meetings and reviewing results together to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and use that awareness to improve connection and intimacy. Video or phone conversations can be used to practice new ways of expressing feelings and to rehearse different responses in real time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and will suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports working through relationship, attachment, and life-change issues without rearranging a full day.
