Lauren Del Angel , LPC

Lauren Del Angel is a licensed mental health professional who combines clinical training with real-world experience to help people move toward the life they want. She earned a master’s degree in Counseling from Loyola Marymount University in 2013 and practices as an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor, which signifies a licensed mental health counselor qualified to provide therapeutic services in Texas.

Her background includes two years serving in the Peace Corps, working closely with families in a small community to address challenges and build on strengths. That experience shaped a humble, client-centered approach and deepened her ability to meet people where they are. Over the course of her career she has supported individuals who have experienced significant trauma, those recovering from PTSD, people who have struggled with suicidal thoughts, and clients working to rebuild self-esteem. She is particularly familiar with the persistent, wearing nature of anxiety.

Lauren’s therapeutic style emphasizes practical strategies and actionable plans rather than solely talk. She focuses on fostering insight while equipping clients with concrete tools they can try right away, and she helps create a clear plan for progress between sessions when that pace suits the client. As a former therapy client herself, she prioritizes a relationship that feels nonjudgmental, deeply understanding, and emotionally safe enough for honest disclosure. She guides, encourages, and when appropriate, challenges clients to overcome obstacles and reach goals they set for themselves.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more constructive alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by focusing on practical skills and structured exercises.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. DBT can be particularly useful for people who struggle with emotional regulation, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle, nonjudgmental attention to thoughts and feelings. It supports stress reduction, better emotional balance, and increased self-awareness through simple practice techniques.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lauren will work with each client to explore their needs, preferences, and goals and tailor methods that fit the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. That collaborative process helps refine treatment as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options to engage in care from home or other convenient locations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide an audio-only option, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer written communication or need more frequent, shorter exchanges. These formats make scheduling easier and increase access to licensed professionals and therapists for people with busy lives or mobility constraints.
