About Angelique

Angelique Lawrence is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Virginia. She brings 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting questions, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her approach is warm and interactive. She listens carefully, helps clients name what matters, and works with them to set clear, achievable steps.

Sessions focus on practical changes you can try between meetings, not just talk. Angelique draws on relationship-focused methods such as the Gottman Method and Imago, and blends them with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

That mix lets her address patterns between partners as well as the thoughts and habits that keep one person stuck. She has worked with people facing trauma, abuse, grief, addictions, and mood concerns.

Angelique also supports clients with intimacy challenges, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and questions about sexual orientation and non-monogamous relationships. Angelique has provided counseling, coaching, and mentorship across community and nonprofit settings.

Her style is straightforward and respectful, avoiding stigmatizing labels while offering clear tools. She helps clients set goals, practice new ways of relating, and track small gains over time.

People who choose her often want a therapist who balances relational focus with skill-building. She offers video, phone, chat, and messaging sessions to fit different schedules and needs.

Relationship methods and online therapy options

Angelique uses the Gottman Method to help partners improve communication and reduce repeating fights by teaching clear skills for listening and repair. Gottman work is practical and focused on changing how people argue and reconnect. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed steps toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that ease anxiety and mood problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angelique will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit the client’s situation. That collaborative planning helps set realistic steps and a clear path forward. Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let partners meet together from different places, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat can be useful for short check-ins or homework support. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
