Angelique Lawrence, LMFT

Angelique Lawrence is a licensed marriage and family therapist with two decades of clinical experience. She works in Virginia and supports people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Angelique uses clear, direct talk and practical steps to help clients make manageable changes.

She blends methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, building skills to manage emotions, and improving how people connect with others. Angelique adapts plans to each person’s needs rather than using the same approach for everyone.

Her work covers many concerns people bring to therapy: intimacy and relationship issues, communication problems, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, panic, and social anxiety. She also addresses complicated topics such as infidelity, divorce and separation, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and veteran-related issues.

Angelique describes her style as warm and interactive. She aims to treat people with respect and without stigma while offering coaching-style guidance when helpful. Her background includes practice as a psychocounselor and life coach alongside clinical therapy work.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations, practical homework, and focused work toward specific goals. Angelique supports international clients and conducts sessions in English using a range of online formats.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Angelique uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often through short exercises and practical homework that suit video or text formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to help clients clarify values and take action toward them while learning simple mindfulness practices that can be practiced between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy guides people to identify and shift patterns in close relationships, which works well through video calls where partners can join and practice new ways of responding to each other.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. Angelique collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, struggles, and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as progress is made so the approach fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for relationship work and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Messaging and live chat are helpful for brief coaching, practicing skills between sessions, or keeping momentum during transitions.
