About Angelique
Angelique Lawrence is a licensed marriage and family therapist who blends practical skills with a compassionate style. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people untangle stressful situations. Her work centers on relationships and parenting concerns while also addressing anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions.
Angelique holds the LMFT credential and practices from Virginia. Angelique draws on two decades of clinical experience to shape each session. She listens first, then helps clients identify small, usable steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her sessions often include tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and from emotionally-focused methods to rebuild connection in relationships. She also uses acceptance-based ideas to help people live by their values even when stress feels overwhelming. People come to her for a wide range of worries.
These include intimacy and relationship struggles, parenting challenges, blended family issues, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep or eating problems, and career or life purpose questions. Angelique also works with issues such as infidelity, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and social anxiety. Her style is warm and interactive.
She aims to create straightforward plans and teach skills clients can use right away. Sessions can include problem-solving, communication practice, and mindfulness exercises suited to each person’s needs. Angelique combines practical therapy methods with respect and sensitivity.
She helps clients set realistic goals and track small changes over time. For people seeking support around family and parenting challenges, she offers approaches that focus on improving connection and everyday functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when stress or avoidance stops someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets specific patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and manage everyday problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions within close relationships and helps partners express needs and rebuild connection.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so therapy fits each person and relationship.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people work on communication, practice skills, and check in between sessions from different locations. The variety of formats supports different schedules, comfort levels, and immediate needs while keeping the focus on steady progress and real-world improvements.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
