Angela Marshall, LPC

Angela Marshall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, substance use concerns, and major life changes. Angela aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can start making practical changes.

She uses straightforward approaches that often include cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Angela also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and emotionally focused methods when they fit a person’s goals. She emphasizes working together to create a plan that reflects each person’s needs.

In sessions she listens for what feels most important to the person and offers tools to reduce overwhelming thoughts and emotions. This can include short exercises, behavioral experiments, and skills practice to use between meetings. She avoids labels that feel stigmatizing and keeps the focus on clear, doable steps.

Angela works with adults facing a range of concerns such as relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, body image, and caregiver burnout. She also helps with panic attacks, low self-esteem, and finding direction after big life events.

Her style is warm and practical. She meets people where they are and supports steady progress toward the goals they set together.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Angela commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try clearer, more useful behaviors. CBT often focuses on short-term skill building for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress so people can feel more in control of daily life.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to get rid of them, while committing to actions that reflect personal values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when the main concern is connection and emotional patterns in relationships; it helps people name feelings and change interaction cycles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This helps ensure the work feels useful and relevant to everyday challenges.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief reflections between sessions.
