Having navigated loss and major life transitions myself, I know you don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward, find clarity, recognize patterns, learn to trust yourself, or begin making confident decisions that enhance your life.
I’m Angie Munsey, an LPC-Associate with counseling experience in private practice, middle school, and high school settings. I work with individuals 11 and older, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions, burnout, caregiver fatigue, and relationship challenges. I also help clients identify and work through people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overcontrol. My clients seek to understand recurring patterns, communicate more clearly, build stronger boundaries, and make confident decisions that reflect their values and strengthen their relationships.
My style is warm, direct, curious, and collaborative, with room for humor. I integrate CBT, ACT, and SolutionFocused Therapy with art and play therapy techniques. Together, we’ll explore patterns, consider new perspectives, and practice skills to help you respond intentionally and make changes that reflect your values.
You don’t have to do it alone, and you don’t have to have it all planned out. I’ll meet you where you’re at. Together we’ll decide what happens next. If you’re scared, that’s okay. Doubtful? That’s okay too. Do it scared. Do it doubtful. Schedule the appointment. All you have to do is start.

I understand that life can sometimes take us through difficult and unexpected seasons. My own life experiences have taught me the value of resilience, personal growth, and having someone who truly listens. I believe we all have the ability to grow, make meaningful changes, and find a new path forward, sometimes we just need a little support along the way.
I am a counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling and a passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s challenges and discover their own strengths. My experience includes working with children and teens in school and community-based settings, supporting individuals facing anxiety, stress, family changes, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or uncertain about their future. I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.
Building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients is at the heart of my approach. I take time to establish genuine rapport so clients feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves. Through a warm, person-centered approach, I help clients understand their emotions, recognize their strengths, and make meaningful changes at their own pace.
You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. Where you are today does not determine where you can go tomorrow. With support, encouragement, and the right tools, you can write a better story for yourself. When you are ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take that next step toward healing and growth.

As someone who understands how deeply identity, relationships, and our sense of belonging can shape our lives, I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and a belief that you deserve to feel at home in yourself.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, life transitions, and challenges with connection and belonging. My approach is collaborative and grounded in patience, curiosity, and compassion. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, develop meaningful coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more authentic to you.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in an Adlerian perspective. I help clients explore patterns, recognize their strengths, build practical coping skills, and develop a stronger sense of identity and belonging. Clients can expect a supportive space where we work together toward meaningful, lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to meet you with compassion, curiosity, and without judgment. If you’re ready to begin exploring what’s next, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take that first step toward meaningful change.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen and understood, while also being supported and challenged as we work together to create meaningful, lasting change in your life and relationship.
I’m a licensed professional counselor with experience supporting adults and couples through life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and periods of feeling stuck or disconnected. I work with clients who may appear to have everything together but find themselves overwhelmed, unfulfilled, or repeating patterns they’re ready to change. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, develop healthier ways of coping, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct, blending evidence-based strategies with genuine conversation and practical tools. I help clients identify patterns, process difficult experiences, and build greater self-awareness and confidence. You can expect a supportive space where you’ll feel heard while also being challenged to create meaningful change.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Sometimes, taking the first step simply means deciding you’re ready for something to feel different. I’m here to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and begin that process together.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

There are many approaches to couples/marriage counseling, including the Gottman Method, emotionally focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), etc. What is important is for the couple to find the approach they can relate to and that works best for the relationship.
Tools taught in couples/marriage counseling include communication skills, active listening, and interpersonal skills.
Meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling will involve improved communication and intimacy.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by practicing the skills developed during the sessions.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage session, create a list of concerns about the relationship (each partner can create a list).
Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
