Therapeutic approaches and online care with Angelique Gettle

Angelique integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand connection needs, repair relational ruptures, and address abandonment or attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes the client’s experience and personal growth; it is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a strong option for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angelique works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Angelique can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving the collaborative, individualized focus of in-person work.
