Regina Angelo-Tarango , LMFT

Regina Angelo-Tarango is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. She combines training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Reflective Practice, and perinatal mental health to tailor care to each person’s history and needs.

Her work is informed by family systems, attachment, narrative, and cognitive behavioral frameworks, which she uses to explore how early relationships, health, and spiritual beliefs shape present concerns. Regina emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental environment where difficult topics can be addressed without shame or stigma. She attends to both practical coping skills and deeper relational patterns so clients can move toward clearer goals and greater emotional balance.

Regina values collaboration and curiosity in therapy, working alongside clients to identify meaningful change and build resilience. Her approach integrates evidence-informed techniques with empathic listening to help people navigate loss, anxiety, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, and other life stressors.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Regina draws on attachment-based work to explore patterns that originate in early relationships and influence present-day connections - this approach can be helpful for people addressing intimacy, abandonment, or family-of-origin issues. She also integrates client-centered principles, offering empathic, non-judgmental listening that helps people clarify their values and goals while feeling understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic while teaching practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Regina collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions evolve as progress is made and priorities change, with the therapist and client making adjustments together.

Online therapy with Regina is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make consistent care more accessible for those balancing work, family, or geographic constraints while still receiving support from a licensed professional.
