Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with twelve years of clinical experience supporting people through significant life transitions and emotional challenges. She concentrates on helping individuals untangle relationship dynamics, navigate family concerns, and heal from trauma and abuse while addressing mood disorders and stress-related conditions.

Her work covers a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting struggles, anger, self-esteem, career-related stress, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses more specific focuses such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, commitment and control issues, dependent personality patterns, divorce and separation, domestic violence, feelings of emptiness, and family of origin problems.

Marlo integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to tailor treatment to each person. Her approach emphasizes self-compassion, improved communication, and practical skills to manage social anxiety, workplace stress, and interpersonal conflict. She draws on a culturally responsive stance and particular experience working with women, young adults, veterans, and multicultural communities to create a respectful, collaborative space for growth and resilience.

Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Work

Marlo Rangel uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace of change while the therapist offers empathetic support and validation. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and addressing identity and attachment concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical approach that examines thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers concrete strategies for coping with workplace pressure, social anxiety, and mood symptoms.

Dialectical behavior therapy is another tool in her practice, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. DBT techniques can be useful for intense emotions, self-harm risk factors, and relationship instability.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marlo collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Marlo is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and the ability to receive consistent support from home or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain momentum between sessions.
