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 wide range of people and specializes in trauma, PTSD, women’s issues, grief, addictions, and attachment-related disorders. Her background includes helping clients navigate relationship and family challenges as well as issues like stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She integrates creative modalities such as art therapy and animal-assisted techniques alongside more traditional talk therapy, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. Her therapeutic stance is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and shaped by a humanistic, dynamic orientation. Angelique also draws on rational-emotive ideas and structural family therapy influenced by Salvador Minuchin when appropriate.

She views the decision to begin therapy as a courageous step and focuses on listening, supporting, and empowering people as they work toward meaningful change. Angelique approaches each client as an individual with unique life experiences and perspectives, and she adapts her methods to match those differences.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Angelique Gettle draws from attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape present-day patterns of connection and trust, helping clients address abandonment, attachment issues, and intimacy-related concerns. She also uses client-centered therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build self-awareness and self-esteem and to navigate life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and coping difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angelique works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so therapy matches what feels most helpful and relevant.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling and continuity of care across different locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support when in-person visits are not feasible, while still working with licensed professionals committed to effective therapeutic work.
