Angela Marshall

Angela Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 19 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, and coping with life changes. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and she aims to meet each person where they are.

She tends to work in a person-centered way, listening first to understand an individual’s goals. Angela blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with acceptance-based ideas and mindfulness to create straightforward plans. She also uses elements of emotionally-focused therapy and motivational interviewing when they match a person's needs.

In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try simpler alternatives. That may mean learning short skills for managing panic, practicing new ways to talk about relationship issues, or stepping through small behavior changes for addiction recovery. She focuses on what will help in daily life rather than labels.

Angela has spent years supporting people through transitions such as job changes, losses, and shifts in family roles. She also addresses concerns like body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and isolation. Clients work together with her to set realistic goals and track progress over time.

If someone is ready to start, Angela asks a few questions to match goals and then builds a plan they can follow between sessions. Her approach is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping people regain steadiness during change.

Approaches that guide online work and practical support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to reduce panic, manage mood, and change habits that get in the way of daily life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and naming emotions so relationship patterns become clearer and easier to change. This can help people improve how they communicate and connect when emotions run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical tools, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how you will meet. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows people to practice skills in the places they live and work, then bring those experiences back to sessions for review.
