About Angela
Angela Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 19 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addictions, and life transitions. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and she meets people where they are to work toward real goals.
Marshall uses straightforward methods to help people cope and make changes. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and build meaningful habits.
How Angela works
Emotionally-focused work helps people understand strong feelings in relationships and how to respond to them. Sessions are collaborative. She listens first, then builds a plan tailored to each person's needs and preferences.
That plan may include mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing techniques to boost readiness for change, or practical skills for managing panic and stress. She also offers guidance for parenting concerns, body image issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and career or purpose questions. Marshall addresses trauma and abuse with care and supports people working through complicated grief or life disruption.
Therapy can include goal-setting, skill practice, and short homework between sessions. Her aim is to make progress feel manageable and realistic so people can carry change into daily life.

How Angela's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that align with their values to build a meaningful life. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like panic, depression, and unhelpful worry. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify core emotions and how those emotions shape relationships and coping, which can ease loneliness, communication problems, and attachment struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best based on the person's goals, current concerns, and preferences. That might mean trying one method for a few sessions and adapting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and text messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing encouragement between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep work focused on practical change.
