Angela Marshall

Angela Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 19 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for everyday struggles, including stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and anger. Her first priority is meeting people where they are and helping them take the next step toward change.

Marshall uses a person-centered approach that emphasizes respect and compassion. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works with each person to set realistic goals. Sessions center on clear, doable steps rather than jargon or long lectures.

Her work draws from several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She also uses Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing tools when they fit a person's goals. Treatment plans are tailored to the specific situation and updated as progress is made.

Angela has supported people facing life transitions, family conflict, substance use concerns, ADHD, mood disorders, and grief. She helps with communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, and issues around self-esteem and body image. She aims to help clients build practical skills for coping and for making meaningful changes.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Angela focuses on creating a straightforward path forward, offering steady guidance and encouragement as people try new ways of handling difficult emotions and challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by building clarity about what matters and small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns; it often helps with panic, worry, and mood changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela will discuss these methods with each person, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. The goal is to find approaches that match a person's needs, preferences, and day-to-day life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in times when needed. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during transitions and offer flexible ways to practice new skills between meetings.
