About Angela

Angela Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 19 years of clinical experience. She has spent recent years addressing a wide range of concerns, including substance use, trauma and grief, anxiety and depression, family conflict, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with relationship and family issues, stress and coping, mood disorders such as bipolar, and a number of focused areas like body image, caregiver stress, and panic disorder.

Her style is person-centered and collaborative, meeting clients where they are while crafting individualized plans that draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), existential approaches, mindfulness practice, and motivational interviewing.

Angela emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in clinical work and avoids stigmatizing labels while helping clients identify practical strategies and values-based goals. She supports people navigating life transitions, addiction recovery, parenting challenges, and complicated emotions like anger, shame, or isolation.

Those who engage with her can expect an approach tailored to personal needs and goals, with an emphasis on building coping skills, improving communication, and clarifying life purpose. Angela invites prospective clients to take the initial step toward change and offers guidance through the early stages of the therapeutic process.

Approaches that guide online care and practical support

Angela integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and stress. CBT emphasizes clear strategies and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to encourage values-driven action and acceptance of difficult internal experiences. ACT supports people who are struggling with avoidance or chronic worry by teaching mindfulness skills and helping them clarify what matters most so they can take meaningful steps forward.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela will work with each client to determine which methods - whether CBT, ACT, or emotion-focused techniques - best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with her offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home while working on coping skills, communication, and personal goals.
