About Anjelika Layco, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
My name is Angel. After graduating from California State University of Fullerton with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have been providing counseling to children, families, individuals and couples for over 16 years.
My marriage counseling approach is grounded in compassionate and effective principles of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Gottman Therapy Method.
I believe that every couple has the potential to achieve a fulfilling and satisfying relationship. I am committed to helping couples in their journey of healing, restoring trust and rebuilding loving bonds. I feel privileged to be a part of this process.
When I am not providing counseling, I love spending time with my husband, my 33-year old son and our two little dogs. I love nature, swimming and reading books. I value kindness, love and sincerity.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
For centuries love, mysterious and puzzling in its nature, had been the exclusive domain of poets and songwriters. A 19th-century poet described the connection to a loved one as a safe haven: “Beside him I fear or dread none.” Love has been described as a source of joy and happiness as well as a source of misery and pain.
Not until a few decades ago has romantic love been demystified by psychologists and scientists. Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), described by Johnson as an empirically validated theory of adult love relationships, made love less mystifying.
Based on Bowlby’s attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy conceptualizes love as an attachment process. The attachment perspective on adult love suggests that secure bonds are built on interactions in which partners, who are perceived as attachment figures, are accessible and responsive to each other’s attachment needs.
The availability of an attachment figure, especially in times of stress and hardships, provides partners with safe haven for expressing their deepest emotions as well as providing and receiving comfort from each other.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) is one of the most effective approaches that successfully addresses marital distress, infidelity, and history of trauma in a relationship.
Research has shown that 70% of couples recover from marital distress, and 90% of couples experience improvement in the quality of their relationship with an EFT therapist.
The couples report that they continue maintaining positive progress two years after finishing marriage counselling.
The couples report having fewer conflicts, feeling more connected, and are communicating with each other in a more positive and effective way.
