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 parents face. Her direct approach aims to reduce overwhelm and create manageable steps forward.
She uses everyday talk and clear goals in sessions. Angela listens first, then helps people identify what matters most to them. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience supporting people dealing with substance use, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also works with attention challenges such as ADHD and mood concerns like bipolar disorder. Parenting is a named area of focus and she helps parents handle stress and relationship strains that come with caregiving.
Therapy sessions combine techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment methods, emotionally-focused work, existential ideas, and mindfulness. Angela blends these to match a person's needs rather than using a single fixed method. Expect practical strategies, short experiments between sessions, and chances to reflect on values and priorities.
She frames treatment around each person’s goals and designs a clear plan together. For someone juggling parenting, work, and emotional strain, her style is straightforward and solution-oriented while staying empathetic. Angela aims to support steady change one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps when parenting or life demands feel overwhelming by steering attention toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change patterns and manage anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and improve how they connect with others, which can be useful for relationship and family stress.Choosing an approach is a team process. The therapist will talk with a client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels helpful. That collaborative exploration means methods can be mixed so the work fits the person rather than forcing one boxed approach.
Online therapy offers options that fit busy parenting lives. Video calls let people have a session that feels most like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or milestone tracking between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule work around caregiving, work, and other daily demands while keeping therapy practical and goal-focused.
