Angelique Murguia , LCSW, LICSW

Angelique Murguia is a licensed social worker based in Nevada who brings a focused, compassionate approach to helping people navigate trauma, grief, and life changes. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and LICSW stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and has three years of professional experience working across a range of clinical settings. Her background includes crisis intervention and work with concerns from adjustment difficulties to severe conditions such as chronic paranoid schizophrenia.

Angelique integrates evidence-informed methods to match each person's needs, drawing on psychodynamic or psychoanalytic talk therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, solution-focused techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She emphasizes practical coping skills as well as opportunities to explore deeper patterns that affect relationships, self esteem, intimacy, and emotional regulation. Her specialty areas include stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, parenting and family issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career and life transition challenges, among others.

In sessions she guides people toward greater self-respect, self-love, and acceptance while helping them build tools to manage difficult emotions. Her style is supportive and goal-oriented, designed to empower individuals to identify solutions or reach a place of acceptance as part of their mental health journey.

Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care

Angelique commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stressful reactions. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, inviting clients to practice present-focused awareness and grounding techniques that can support emotion regulation and reduce rumination. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach as well - this collaborative style helps clients explore their values and build motivation for change when facing ambivalence about behaviors like substance use or lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angelique works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods accordingly, so the treatment plan fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to meet changing needs over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for clients juggling work, family, or health challenges. Angelique provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing continuity of care from different locations and formats and making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship.
