About Angelique

Angelique Murguia is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, grief, and challenging life changes. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices from Nevada. Her approach is straightforward and focused on practical steps parents and adults can use right away.

She emphasizes emotional safety and clear communication in sessions. Angelique listens first, then helps clients name what matters most and try small changes. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to tackle everyday problems like sleep, eating, and overwhelming anxiety.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are part of her work too. She teaches short grounding practices that clients can use during a hard moment. Motivational interviewing is used to support people who want to change habits, including issues around addictions and self-care.

Angelique has three years of documented experience as a licensed clinician. She has also worked with trauma, crisis response, and grief in past roles. That background informs how she guides someone through painful events without rushing the process.

Sessions focus on clear goals and steps. Parents who are worried about parenting stress, family tensions, or communication problems will find a practical, steady presence. The aim is to reduce daily overwhelm and build usable coping skills that fit each person’s life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and everyday stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding exercises to reduce reactivity and improve calm in tense moments. It can help with grief, sleep troubles, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend one or more methods to try. Sessions often mix approaches so the plan matches what is most useful for the individual.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options allow sessions to fit around family schedules, work, and caregiving needs. People can use short text check-ins between meetings or full video sessions when a deeper conversation is needed, which helps maintain momentum without long commutes.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
